True....:laugh:Hey... the scenario is great... but the counters... the counters... :gas:
Beware... of .... the.... SQUARE COUNTERS mwoohahahahaaaa!!! :ar15:Hey... the scenario is great... but the counters... the counters... :gas:
Well, the whole OOB is pretty dubious. I'd be the first to admit to that. However the omission of the marines isn't too big a deal. It's basically a divisional scenario and, as far as I am aware, of all the combatants in the real second world war, only the Americans formed whole divisions of marines, and these could be assumed to be supporting the Japanese in the Asiatic theatre.I have look to youre oob. And have see that no side has marines/naval infantry.
True. No Allied Mountain troops (besides the Hungarians and Romanians) or other 'special' forces (besides the ABN units).Well, the whole OOB is pretty dubious. I'd be the first to admit to that.

That being said if I ever finish the new version you will of course see various marine units.
I've got an AAR going on in the Matrix forum....I'm still playing a test copy, and loosing bad...
I think that you made a little mistake that the Americans formed only divisions. The UK had in 1940 the Royal Marine Division and I thought also a second.Well, the whole OOB is pretty dubious.

Give me five years or so.Ben's got something in the works which I'll be awaiting patiently though anxiously
The Royal Marine division never fought as a formed unit, though. So far as I'm aware there was only one and it seems only to have served as an adminstrative HQ for smaller forces.I think that you made a little mistake that the Americans formed only divisions.

Yes, as I recall the Dutch marines were about the only regular troops available.The Dutch has no division, but the strength of all marines at the start of the war was about Brigade strength, and growing.
Two battalions, as I recall.For the Italians had the San Marco Brigade
Well, here I have the trump card of alternate history. Wasn't most of the naval infantry formed for emergency purposes as their coastlines were swallowed up by the Axis advance? I would think the Soviets would need all the sailors they could get to defend their long coastlines from Allied raids.And let's not forgot the Soviet Union himself. They had plenty brigades of Marines/Naval Infantry Brigades in World War II
The Soviets had 2 types of Naval Ground Troops in world War II.Well, here I have the trump card of alternate history.

And mayby also France, Spain and other countries who has big navies or a long naval history.Anyway, rest assured that Britain, Holland, Poland, Italy and Romania at least will have their marines and naval infantry if I ever get around to them in the new version.
That's indeed a factor.Well, here I have the trump card of alternate history.
Rah, Rah, Sis-BOOM-Bah. :hurray:Give me five years or so.
Anyway, Jeff will be pleased to hear that although I've barely started the Allied OOB I've already included four mountain units and a marine infantry brigade in the Polish force.
