WHAT? This is fascinating!

The little squirt.

True, true. I don't see that as differing in presentation from my own conclusions. Can't send in anything naked PanzerKiel's objections to using a mass of 900 hovercraft is relevant here. He said, more or less, that putting up such a huge soft target would attract potshots from everybody, and...

True, true, true....Pure anything is a prescription for failure. Getting different arms and services to work together is extremely difficult, without years of exercises, and, sadly, a war or two.

Reality can be modelled; it is just that it is a multi-variate possibility, and it is extremely tedious to pick up all the threads of our multi-variate existence.

That leaves us with four possibilities: We have tanks, we have their antidotes; We have tanks, little or few antidotes; We have antidotes and no tanks; We have no tanks, we have no antidotes. But this is dead wrong, because our success or failure will be matched by the opposition. In stark...

Now if we turn the argument on its head, what do we have? An infantry body that does have one or more of these - tank destroyer, portable guided missile, attack helicopter, missile-carrying UAV, close air support aircraft - how would it react to an armoured column? Oh, damn, here they come...

Well, yes, he presents an elegant set of reasons why the tank should not be written off yet. In very abbreviated form, tanks can be stopped, and they can be stopped in several ways at once - through shaped charges delivered by tank destroyers, through man-portable guided missiles, through...

Ah, so!

As an interim measure, we can insert an artillery brigade as well as a helicopter battalion of infantry into every hovercraft task force, also into every division in general - Infantry division - [Defensive] Infantry brigade x 2 + Artillery Brigade + Armoured brigade OR [Offensive]Infantry...

There is more to it than that. Warships are no longer built entirely of steel. One common substitute for steel, especially above the centre of gravity, is aluminium. Aluminium degrades rapidly in heat, and avoiding the ill effects of build-up of high heat is almost impossible for aluminium...

Yes. Apparently the entire exercise of re-assigning these, thus yielding the new format, took place before you joined up. This is exactly the standard, current ORBAT (with a few tiny mistakes - the naval unit is not shown) that we had in 2022.

I am not sure that is true. My impression, subject to being corrected by reference, is that there is a sprinkling of light formations serving as back-up for reconnaissance and surveillance troops, and able to move in and out of situations very quickly, moving in to exploit a weakness, moving...

These are excellent examples of US/Russian/Chinese formations divided into Heavy and Light formations (in the Chinese case, into Heavy, Medium and Light) . The Indian Army is different from these. The Pakistan Army is also (slightly) different from Indian Army formations. They don't have...

Who is Sandy?

Gentlemen, Just a quick update and a reminder. THIS thread is for the future, when simulation exercises are offered as fun options on DH. The present exercise needs your participation in the GoogleGroup constituted for the purpose. Those who do not respond by 18:00 IST today will be considered...

I hope you are in; no responses from you to the circular messages. We are hours away from commencement, and there are some significant tweaks needed because of the clear constraints declared by PanzerKiel. As of now, we have one person for all coordinated actions on the planned actions, from...

Be aware that Oscar may start earlier, on the 15th.
