When you have a full strength tank platoon, it is 5 vehicles. But a platoon of Inf is 6 strength points. Why not change it to 30 men or whatever the number is. I think it just might make the game better. PBs is that way and it has been pretty good. The difference would be PBs is one campaign area where CS scenarios are similar to TOAW covering all kinds of areas. If it works, it could be another patch for current owners. I think it would work better and be more realistic than strength points.
Can't disagree with that, Mark.
Hopefully there's time to implement this to the EF game once it gets out. The infantry steps are half squad each as you know, so three squad platoons are 6SP and four squad platoons are 8SP. We should be able to put in some kind of logic that converts those to # of men, maybe a nation specific modifier based on squad or platoon sizes.
Same for guns / vehicles.
Then, hopefully, and improved Strength Dialog too with more information available.
Would improve things a lot and add to realism, too.
