Hi all I think we should put all platoon suggestions in one place for quick referance for those whom are interested.


Here are some suggestions on what I think would be excepted by the guys at R&D

-It seems as though the platoons should consist of 5 units.

-platoons should give a Sams club discount for units deemed- (overpriced/underpowered)

-Platoons should be single nation entities.

-Platoons aren't necessarily "historical platoons" they are more like units that work together

-Of course these are just my guide-lines that I will be using, feel free to post whatever you want.

- Maybe we could use a template to keep it simple-copy=

Platoon Name. = Cost pts. ~
Unit Names-x?
Unit Names-x?

Agreed
-Platoons should be single nation entities.
Agreed

Depends on what you mean with work together.
SS HF and three Kar-98 and a Veteran Inf is OK.
Two KV-1s, two Cossac Captains is not.

fire teams, its an oldie but it's the jist of the statement.
more or less I just wanted to state that these are Platoons in name only, a convenient way of recosting mis-judged units.
in my opinion the Kv1 doesn't need a boost the things practicly invulnrable.

Yes, I agree and understand, but there have been several ideas here about "marrying pieces" together that doesnt have anything in common, I opposed that idea. Fireteams, or kampfgrüppes (which could be from anything a tank with some support up to a regiment sized entities, the latter excluded from this game) is a good idea with a root in history. The germans were experts in throwing together whatever units they could grab, give the a leader and they fought the best of the best (like when a small size unit from 22 different elements) stood up against 1st airborn outside arnhem.

I guess I'm in the minority; but I find it rather cumbersome to sift through a hundred different platoons looking for the right combo for my build. I tend to build armies around a few select units that I want to use. For example, I'll say, "I'd like to use a Pershing this battle." So I pick the Pershing and then build around it to round out the force. With platoons, it seems a little harder to find the units you are looking for.

Albeit, it is definitely a completely different way to play the game. And maybe I just need to warm up to it. Just making sure this is the path we really want to go down.

I suppose I'm less of a strict "historical" player and more of a "game" player. (No, I didn't say "power" game. Just "game" as in simple yet historic.)

You can still do that. When using platoons you don't use just platoons. I'd think you would like it if you read them over again. You could start with a pershing, for instance, and then pick up a US platoon or two. You can get more units for the points you spend, which you need if you want a pershing

I prefer realistic platoons, but that doesn't mean I think they should create a discount-platoon for every possible unit. A lot of them can be left to the players themselves to mix and match.

I think they should concentrate on a limite number of generic platoons that provide a viable alternative to the known powerunits. SS Panzergrenadiers seem to be a must-have unit, so create a cheap Mauser-based platoon:

4x Mauser
1x MG 42

... which also happens to closely resemble "the real thing" (which makes the nitpicker in me very happy).

2x SdKfz 250
2x Panzergrenadier

... with a discount to make mechanized infantry more interesting.

No need for every possible combination to be pre-set. Just the bread and butter units, leave the rest to us.


:cool:

I don't think anyone is going to go overboard with platoons. It is pretty much just as you said, alterntives to the "Elites".

Uncle_Joe
02-19-2007, 02:12 PM
I prefer 'realisitic' platoons too. But one thing to keep in mind is that many player dont have access to unlimited models. Even 8 Mausers can be a stretch for many players. The same goes for multiples of rare armor as well.

So, where possible (and plausible), I'd prefer if the 'platoons' were more like 'battlegroups' with a theme (AT, Eng, Recon, Inf, Asslt etc etc). That way they can be mixed and matches a little better based on models and game balance rather than worrying more about any form of historic TO&E.

I agree, and that does work better.

If you want a sample of what I mean then click on my sig link. I put up a sample of platoon cards for the Japanese there. It shows a series of cards that can be randomly drawn, or placed face down on the board to create a Fog of War kind of scenario. They are designed to be playable within a 100 pt game or a 300pt game. The key is to use them in a random fashion, not simply pick them as units are built now.

Using platoon cards and variations on that theme creates many options for play. Even when paired with the basic rules alone.

I was thinking that crosstraining in a platoon might provide some use for lower point soldiers. Let's say a machine gun team or mortar team gets hit. You could roll a die and 1-2 the weapon is destroyed and 3-6 one of the team is destroyed. An adajacent unit could step up to feed the ammo and keep the weapon deploy. What do you think?

I've always been annoyed that the British get an American Tank, while the Americans don't. I'm referring to the 'Stuart'. So, here's my suggetion for an American Light Tank Platoon.

5 M3 Stuarts

Cost: 70 points

Some may argue that a 5 point discount is less than 10% of the orginal total. That's because (in my opinion) that Stuart is one of the better value priced tanks in the game. So I am not very inclined to discount it further.

One unit I WISH would be included in the game is the American 'Scott'. It has the body of the Stuart, with a short barreled 75 mm howitzer for close infantry support for the reconisance/light tank units. But, that will very likely have to wait for some time yet.

In U.S Military doctrine, the most tanks per platoon would be 4 and those were generally assigned to a head quarters platoon for company. Other than that each platoon would consist of 3 tanks. A tank company would have 13 tanks (3 line platoons with 3 tanks each, plus the HQ platoon which would 4 tanks - 3 sections + commander's tank)

According to http://www.bayonetstrength.150m.com/Armour/united_states_armored_battalion.htm a full strength U.S. light tank or medium tank platoon would have five tanks. Of course due to combat losses they may operate with less vehicles.

By the way, http://www.bayonetstrength.150m.com/index.htm is a great site for finding TO&E's, as well as some interesting information on infantry tactics.

Thanks for the support. I recognize that there will always be some tension between what 'the book' says versus what real world combat conditions were like on the day to day event. My father and brother were Army all the way. I've heard plenty from both of them about what SHOULD be and what really was.

I've been frustrated by the lack of Japanese platoons, since they are one of the worst nations.

INA Anti-Tank Platoon (15 pts/38% discount)
2 47mm Type 1 Antitank Gun
1 Type 97 Antitank Rifle
2 Azad Hind Fauj Infantrymen

SNLF Anti-Infantry Platoon (23 pts/32% discount)
2 Type 89 Mortar
1 Type 92 MG Team
1 Arisaka Rifle
1 SNLF Captain

SNLF Recon Platoon (16 pts/53% discount)
1 Imperial Sniper
2 SNLF Paratroopers
1 Type 97 Te-Ke Tankette
1 Type 2 Ka-Mi Amph. Tank

SNLF Rapid Assault Platoon (20 pts/29% discount)
1 Imperial Sergeant
2 Arisaka Rifle
1 SNLF Paratroopers
1 Type 87 Armored Car

The real problem with the Japanese is that they have a hard time getting to 100 points with a 18 unit limit if you give them a discount.

As Poland was one of the first to buy the US BAR, any thoughts on adding as a 1939 country of use? Polish designation RKM wz. 28

Also, Bofors 40mm was also used (Poland received lic to build from UK in 1935)

I have used the following alternate cards to round out the Polish army:
Russian ATR for the Polish wz. 35 ATR , 4pts
Italian 45mm Mortar for the Polish wz. 36 46mm Mortar, 4pts

Chinese T26 as a Polish 7TP w Bofors 37mm ATG
(ATTack should be 9,7,5 though)

Chinese MG for the Czech 7.92mm vz. 24 mg 6pts
Hungarian 37mm ATG for the Bofors 37mm ATG 5pts
French Bold Captain 7pts

A Polish Cavalry Platoon would be 27pts (from 33pts)
4 Cavalry(Polish), 16pts
1 Kuomintang MG(China), 6pts
1 ATR(Russia), 4pts
1 Bold Captain (French) 7pts

A Polish Rifle Platoon would be 19pts (from 24pts)
3 Mauser KAR 98 (Polish), 9pts
1 BAR (US), 4pts
1 ATR (Russia), 4pts
1 Bold Captain (French)7pts

A Polish BICYCLE Platoon would be 22pts (from 27pts)
(All units have High Gear +2 Entire movement on road, unit gets to Move +2 UNTIL any contact with enemy fire (Hits or Misses i.e. unit is Target for an attack) After being a Target, unit loses High Gear +2 (Use counter attached)
3 Determined Infantrymen (Polish), 16pts
1 BAR (US), 4pts
1 ATR (Russia), 4pts
1 Bold Captain (French)7pts



A Polish heavy support Platoon would be 22pts (from 27pts)
1 46mm Mortar (Italy), 4pts
1 37mm ATG (Hungary), 5pts
1 Cavalry unit (Polish), 4pts
1 Kuomintang MG (China), 5pts
1 75mm French WWI Gun (no AAMini yet) used as support and ATG (maybe use a Bofors 40mm as that would be helpful) 9pts



Looking at a scenario on September 1 1939 where the German 4th Army attacked the Polish 9th Infantry Division in the Tuchola Forrest. It was a good attempt by the Poles to slow down the onslaught of the Germans that was thwarted by outflanking the defensive position by overrunning a Polish Bicycle Company
initial thoughts
Poland
1 Polish Bicycle Platoon 22pts
2 Polish Rifle Platoon 38pts
1 Polish Heavy Support Platoon 22pts

1 7TPdw 8pts (they had TKS units, but this is a good substitute)
2 37mm ATG (Hungary), 10pts
3 82mm PM-37 Mortar (Russian) 33pts
1 Red Army Forward Observer(Russian) 8pts
3 Determined Infantrymen (Polish), 16pts
4 Pillbox
5 Minefield 10pts
3 Tank obstacles

Germany
2 German Inf Platoon 40 pts
2 sGrW 34 81mm Mortar 22pts
3 Pz II
3 PZ III 39 pts
1 Pz IV D l24 18pts
1 sIG 33
3 sdkfz 251 42 pts
3 sdkfz 250 24pts
(inf should be all Truck borne...Artillery and ATG wagons..alas a substitute again and a balancing factor between 251 and 250)

Do not have all of my points figured, just a first go.

Probably Fox Charlie Fox maps
