DYO Squad, Basic Version

[Actionjick]

Design your squad using the following system.

You have 30 Design Points to spend on the squad's Firepower, Range and Morale. Each Capability can have a value from zero to ten. The cost in Design Points for each is as follows:

Firepower = 1 Design Point

Range = 2 Design Points

Morale = 3 Design Points

A unit with zero for Morale automatically fails any action requiring Morale.

A unit with zero Range can only attack in it's own Location.

A unit with zero Firepower cannot make any attack.

Just a thought exercise to see what MMC Capability is most desired.

FYI I haven't really thought this through so forgive and please point out any grievous errors.

Are you allowed to spend points on inherent smoke,wp, or sw?

 

[wrongway149]

best I can do is a 5-2-7 or a 6-3-6

Well if you design the DYO Squad Advanced Version you can. I had enough trouble figuring out the Basic Version.

Being a Ranger I would go 2-8-4.

Lol Eastlake North Rangers.

Yay South rebels!

Yay South rebels!

LMFAO! Our North Coast is showing!

I was pondering such things over coffee this morning. I started writing down different Capabilities and decided it wasn't a task to be undertaken on only one cup of javeine.

Determining all the MMC Capabilities and then assigning relative values seems like a very educational undertaking but one I am not prepared or qualified to do. As I said in the Importance of Capabilities thread feel free to throw out ideas and suggestions or develop it yourself. I really would be interested.

Obviously much would depend on the scenario, but I'd go with an 8-2-6
Very interesting concept!

Thanks! One of the things I was thinking of for DYO Advanced was giving a choice of board the squad would be used on. Such as boards 1 through 5. Then what about PTO? I decided to just try Basic and see if there was any interest and what bugs there were.

I like an 8-8-2.

 

[Honza]

4-4-6 anybody?

 

[Manilianus]

3-0-9. It'd CC the map like a boss.

 

[Actionjick]

Thanks! Interesting.

 

[Manilianus]

On the other hand it doesn't make sense... Forget what I've said...

 

[Honza]

Got it....a 3-3-7. Partisans rule this party.

It's so situation dependent it's not even funny...

In a very open board, 10-10-0 is a killer; each squad has an inherent HMG so you'd better not come into LOS.

 

[Actionjick]

2-8-4 is almost like an actual sniper. 5-8-3 even more so. Such units HIP or in good cover could really inhibit your opponent's movement in a situation with open terrain.

Precisely situational dependent! I like the way you think with the 10-10-0.

I was contemplating the 10 range when designing my squad. Would a Leader be required for Long Range fire?

It does make an interesting gedankenexperiment though.

In an Advanced Squad DYO the option should be available to buy multiple cheap units instead of one really good unit.

We would do both in our DYO scenarios. Sometimes buying ridiculously expensive units, ski equipped cavalry assault engineers for example, or hordes of conscripts. It was fun either way.
