Isn't this what the Allied Troops rules are for? Nothing prevents a scenario designer from invoking this rule for different parts of a single nationality OoB - though it would be a bit uneasy to implement unless one uses variant counters.
What got me to thinking about this were the rules for radioless AFVs. However, after giving it some more thought it would probably be too much of a pain in the ass unless a specific situation dictated friction between the allies in question.
Not likely. The long lead time is getting counters published, so not looking good for ASLOK.
Same here. I still have my original SL box.
I used to set up a card table in the living room and play SL, COI, COD and G.I. each night I got off work. Used to put on old shows like Combat and watch and play at the same time. Multi-tasking. This was about 1982-83. I have been into the game ever since, and even still after AH/MMP made it the most confusing wargame ever created. Threw in a little Panzerblitz and Panzer Leader in the mix from time to time. Ah, memory lane.
I just recently discovered that fine show "Combat" as it was just a bit before my time. It feels like watching an ASL reenactment.
It was about 5 or 6 guys winning the war for the US. I actually bought all 5 seasons on disc about 10 years ago. That show never gets old.
Poor Kowalski, he ALWAYS got wounded. Must have had at least 30 Purple Hearts!
I thought it was terribly inaccurate when it was first aired sort of like 12 O'clock High.
NOW don't go beat'n up on one of my all time favorites! Treading on soft ground here!
Next you're going to tell me that Rat Patrol isn't realistic!!

In my defense I was in high school at the time and felt historical inaccuracy was a terrible offense. I was a teenager what can I say.Next you're going to tell me that Rat Patrol isn't realistic!!
As an aside, when I was an instructor at the WI Military Academy, I used to use 12 O-Clock High as an instructional tool for command complications in my OCS classes. Later I would use Blackhawk Down in many OCS/NCO courses as well (still a great study).In my defense I was in high school at the time and felt historical inaccuracy was a terrible offense.

There was a 12 O'Clock High TV series in addition to the 1949 movie. I will take a wild guess and say that was what the poster was referring to rather than the movie.
or Hogan's Heroes!Next you're going to tell me that Rat Patrol isn't realistic!!
Hogan's Heroes was realistic.... For Hollyweed that is....
