Should Medic Units be included in JTCS?

[Crossroads]

But I am yet to be convinced that they can actually do anything. How does the CS medic pick out the wounded from the CS platoon? How does the dustoff helo know who to load? The talk of morale enhancement may have some validity, but all I have seen is a lot of motherhood stuff, and I need a lot more convincing on this matter. The priviledged legal status might be more than CS can handle.
But if added, even if they don't work, I don't think they will detract from the game's image and reputation.

Rod, They would 'pick up the wounded' via enhancing the morale of a disrupted unit, allowing it to return to duty. I think that is a neat wy to abstract it.

Also, instead of having Medics running around the map (in little kubelwagens, preferrably), an addition of say Advanced Dressing Stations and Field Dressing Stations would allow disrupted platoons to 'transfer their wounded' in a historical manner that fits the scale. A Medical Squad or Medical Platoon with their 'stretchers' would provide a similar aid as well.

I feel the idea of adding medical logistics was terrific, and it would just need a proper implementation to add to the game (scenarios) for those who would like to experiment a new dimension to JTCS.

Negative VP values if implemented need to be considered carefully. I feel they should have a negative value. And if someone blocks an exit hex with layers of Field Dressing Stations well I won't be playing him again.

All in all, a very simple abstraction.

Luckily, Jason has been very kind in supporting a thriving mod community, and I believe these additions will make it to at least a couple of mods, once we've figured out the proper abstraction.

It was a nice idea to make a poll out of this, although I enjoyed the discussion even more. And since entertaining the majority is not why I work with a mod, but the fun of doing it, alas, I will propably add them to EF:FB. Then those who want to try them can do so, while those who don't can steer clear. Anyway, like Scud pointed out, rare will be the scenario that has them. If they gain in popularity, fine. If they don't, well I had my fun anyway
