Fair enough. In fact we've always kind of assumed this. My point is that
the rules are NOT clear by any stretch of the imagination. (Oh the
arguments). For example:
How big does you on table force need to be before it needs a C/C System?
What if it doesn't have one.
How big can an on table force get before it needs more than one C/C
system? What happens if it loses one?
Does a Platoon commander need one? A company Commander? A Brigade?
The reason I ask is I'm trying to firm up these rules, and maybe tie it
in into calling Ortillery/Air stikes/Artillery.
Cheers
