It might be an idea getting Derek to submit these to the Ship Registry.
I've already just dumped my designs there for the Eureka OU FT ships,
but don't think they've been put in as yet... must check..

The standard pace in Napoleonic times was a (single) pace of about 30"
(75cm)
or a double of 5 ft. The Roman "Mille" or "Thousand" was thus about 5000
ft
( 5,280 by Imperial standards).

Glad Australia went metric many years ago...

No, not yet.
I am having some personal health problems (blood sugar spiked over 500
one day, now on some medication to help control it), so have not been
able 
to muster the energy to update the registry. Heck, I have not yet even
gotten
to Beth's IAS designs. 
I will do better as soon as my health permits.

Ah the good old Himalaya Survey. Did a bit of work on various surveys,
Ellipsoid models etc back in the 80s for a really long range plot for
Subs.

Hey at the time there were still great swathes of the Pacific where the
most accurate charts were from 1770, done by a bloke called Cook....

Some of what I just ordered were the Dirtside scale bugs (that look a 
lot like the ones from that movie that never should have lost the 
Special Effects Oscar to "Titanic"...). I couldn't resist the tempation 
to fight out a small battle with em. :) (Thanks, btw Beth, I noticed the

pics on your site which got me to get them - never woulda thought about 
them otherwise.)

Anyway, are than any standard rules for the use that I have just missed 
in my trolling? My thoughts pretty much have them pegged to treat them 
as walkers for movement, armor 4 or 5 vehicles (so they can be damaged 
for halved movement) tho vulnerable to infantry fire, can only close 
assault, and morale free. Thoughts welcomed...

Subs and the Himalayas ? Is this some kind of hush-hush project ? 
Sub-terranean ? Sub-glacial ?

As far as a "possible future" one can look at a modern US Armored
Cavalry
Regiment. Relatively self contained with it's own aviation, ADA, MP's,
engineers, Arty, Mech Inf, Armor and such. I personally think that the
movement of troops will be so expensive that only the smallest possible
unit
will be sent to deal with any potential problems (see "Aliens" for just
such
a case). Given that, it may be safe to say no more than a battalion of
troops would ever be sent to one place at one time. Just a SWAG
(scientific
wild-ass guess), inter-stellar transport may get ridiculously cheap in
the
future.

Subject: Attachment levels [DS2]

Mike brown replied to my original post, chock full of good info.
My further comments marked with [Tomb].

First, one overridding question: Mike's answers were based (I think) on
modern doctrine, which is what I asked for. Let us project that the
forces
fighting in the Tuffleyverse will often tend to be smaller (due to
transport
requirements) in total size and more self-reliant, so they may not have
higher-level formations to draw on. This suggests attachment of some
higher
level assets at lower level (even if in small qty) does it not? Because
a
capability usually present at brigade or corps level may still be
required
by a b'n sized force if the nearest brigade HQ is light-years out.

Perhaps this suggests some positions are multi-role (ie the doctors do
dentistry too in these cases). This might be a requirement given that
supporting men and machines in vast numbers is problematic. Thoughts?

------------------------

EW/Comms : Possibly 1 man per platoon, possibly a couple of teams with
CHQ.
Definitely some formation attached at B'n level.
<MWB There is a signal platoon at battalion (3-5 teams and C2)>

[Tomb] C2? Must be an intel guy of some flavour?  How big would these
teams
be? 2 man?

Air Def: GMS/P-Air with infantry platoons. Company might have GMS/L-Air
or
even GMS/H-Air if well equipped. Definitely the B'n would have some
GMS/H-Air. But how many? And what about ZADs or ADS?
<MWB Now consolidated at Brigade (ADA Bty)>

[Tomb] Really? I take it you are referring to ZAD, ADS, TAD? I still
assume
you have Stinger systems actually deployed to the platoons or companies.
I'd
have thought heavy air-def would be a key part of US policy. (Given the
hammering they give everyone ELSE with their air assets).

~~~
A single Stinger team at BN level for Area Anti-Air. BDE and higher
would
have Avengers (Humvees with Stingers). Theatre Air Defense relies on
Patriot.
~~~

Special Forces: If not a dedicated SF unit, these are probably attached
at
Divisional level (at a guess) and temporarily attached down to
battalions,
companies, or even platoons as required by mission. Often operate
independently. They don't like to rely too heavily on normal crunchies
who
might let them down.
<MWB Corps or Theater assets, Usually not seen below Division>

[Tomb] I hadn't realized they were attached so high. I suppose they are
a
very small elite in reality. How many SF personnel are likely to be
operating in a theatre or corps? Would there be a company of them in a
theatre? Or a battalion? or a platoon?

~~~
There was just about a Group (500+/-) in Saudi and environs for
Operation
Desert Shield/Storm. Keep in mind they were not all undertaking Direct
Action operations (actually going out and killing people). Most were
involved in liaison between coalition forces and the CINC Foreign
Internal
Defense (training coalition forces in the Western/NATO way of waging
war).
You can't really say "500 Green Berets are worth XX amount of foreign
troops." They don't work like that. They are what's referred to as a
"Combat
Multiplier." A single SF ODA (Operational Detachment Alpha) is capable
of
training up to a BN of insurgents if properly supplied and supported
form
external sources. Figure 6-8 A-Teams per CO, 3-4 CO per BN, 3-4 BN per
GP.
You do the math. Again, it is highly unlikely that an entire Group would
be
deployed to a theatre. Although the majority of the troops in Op Desert
Shield/Storm were from a single group (which eludes me for the moment, I
want to say 5th SFG), they would have been augmented by other groups,
most
likely 10th and 7th. Maybe some Guard/Reserve units as well (12th and
14th
groups). Plus, they usually answer directly to the CINC or the
ambassador of
the host country. Local commanders may or may not be notified of their
operating within their AO's (most likely would be).
~~~

Intel: Definitely some at divisional level. At B'n level? Probably not
at
company level. And in this, I subsume enemy intel, weather
(meteorology),
sigint/elint , etc.

<MWB Small staff cell at battalion, with EW platoons or companies at
brigade

and higher>

[Tomb] Small is roughly how many at B'n?

~~~
1 S2 officer and 2-3 Intel Analysts, maybe an Interrogator.
~~~

Arty: Well, I assume mortars for Pltn and Company Levels. I assume light
to
medium tube guns for B'n (how many batteries would one expect)? I assume
heavy guns for Div and MRLS systems, although they may temporarily be
attached lower (to companies or b'ns for particular operations).

<MWB Weapons platoon at Company, Mortar platoon (BTY) at Battalion. 
Current
US
has a battalion + at brgiade>

[Tomb] How many tubes in the Co Wpns Pltn and the Btn Mortars?

~~~
2-4 small mortars, 60mm. Plus ATGM's, AGL's, other big stuff.
~~~

<MWB Can't think of any right now, though I'm sure something will come
of
this>

[Tomb] This is gzg-l. :)

~~~
You forgot Chemical, MP, Psyop, Civil Affairs, various liaison types,
etc.
Most of these types would be either too high a level to worry about or
too
hard to model in a game like SG2/DS2.
