sD Used Marker/Counter for T34/85

[ibncalb]

Is it possible to have a "sD used" function added to T34 85's, possibly under depletable ammo?

Under Unit -> Vehicle -> Sm / Mo Att there are counters for smoke and motion success and failures.

You're right. But one of my VASL missions is to reduce counter clutter AND visits to the counter tray.

Reduce clutter by adding a counter? -- jim

By adding a mention of depletion as for depletable ammo on the unit's counter - precisely to avoid the use of an addotional marker.

seriously, you can't remember you failed a sD attempt?
What am I missing here?

The fact that it is one use. — jim

One of the little pleasures in ASL is that there a counter for everything, and you get bonus points for knowing exactly where it is in your personal storage tray system when it is required. But the removing of the need for a lot of the single purpose information counters is VASL is also a joyous thing.

How about some computer magic and remove any mention of sD6 from the back of the T34/85 after it is depleted or put a fat diagonal red line through it ?

That is nearly what the ammo depletion menu does (a little acronym sticks out of the counter, in red if ammo is depleted).

I have 18 T34s in a 15 turn scenario. I don't want to have to remember who has smoke left and who doesn't.

So now the motivation to change VASL is to make it work better on a 6 sigma scenario?

Methinks it is time for you to learn how to modify the VASL program for your specific needs?

According to the Scenario Archive there are 372 scenarios with the T34/85.

This thread is also for suggestions to VASL. I have no idea how to modify VASL, but the guys who manage this thread do. If you don't want to use any sD used function that may be incorporated then don't. But I bet you will cos it's a useful low impact idea.

sD on T-34's is only by SSR though isn't it?

Possibly, but that doesn't change the request for the counter. Anyway what you doing in the VASL section you luddite.

18 T34s and 15 turns is six sigma +

Not T34/85. Its in Chap H as standard, for one sD shot (attempt?)

 

[Will Fleming]

There always is the label. Ctrl-L -> "No SD" or whatever you like.

To be fair to Craig the chapter H note says 'may possibly' so I can sense his doubt. ( And fear)
