(and also suggestions on "change/don't change the mission" and "poor
suport")
No, unfortunately that doesn't really reflect what I'm looking for. For
example, that article talked about the lack of initiative/flexibility in
the junior leadership and the lack of good noncoms. Okay, partly you
can
show that by giving the CRUD player a poor leader and giving the other
guy
a decent lieutenant and maybe a platoon sergeant also. What it does not
do, though is show the difficulty in getting units to move in the first
place.
For example, let's say during a withdrawal I've gotten a squad of REMFs
and
I need them to watch a road, report any AFVs and shoot any soft targets.
In an army with high initiative, I should be able to send the squad out
and
they'll actually go and set things up on their own. In a poorer army
though, I'd pretty much need to lead them by the hand (ie use a
Reactivation every turn until they got to where I wanted them). Right
now
there's no mechanism for that--until the shooting starts, there's no
difference between a CRUD squad and anyone else.
