dhuffjr said:The fly in that oinment is that many use those two units not as levels of command but as numbers of troops in HQ/support units. See the SBCT or NK units OOB's that I've put together as an example of what I'm talking about. Best idea I think is to have a formation keyed to a selected unit as per some the ideas mentioned in this thread. Something that just occured to me is either to have an option in the scenerio editor to have "special value" units ie HQ units and other units such as artillery spotting radar Prophet EW etc. Those units "point value" could aslo be bumped up in a future release if popular opinion/the Major decided it was worth it to give them more value and thus increase the need to protect them.
I understand what you say and I have used your TO&E for the Styker Bde but I substituted Canadian Ops teams for the misc HQ units and also included single civilians to be the officers/NCOs in charge of these.
I like your idea about the Arty radar and the special value units though as that would not take away from the freedom to use the HQ units as the player so wishes.
