I was hoping you would be joining us sooner, and am very agitated it took you so long.I’m in Nilgiri
@Joe Shearer @meghdut @Paro and all members potentially interested in developing ORBAT for Indian army....let us compile/discuss in this thread over time.
I will edit the OG post to have the ORBAT itself.
I'd like your opinions.Dada , really interested in the way artillery ( mountain warfare) and MI , where you will place them ....
How much is the paperback version?Indian Air components -
Usually, it's very accurate. It's updated monthly AFAIK.Orbats

Busy these days, I'll chip in whenever I can.
Also check out this book. I just glanced at it once. It had new orbat pretty well laid out. Will buy it sometime in the future when I have time.

Some 1200/- in India.How much is the paperback version?
Now, that we are discussing this in detail, give me time till Sunday.@suryakiran
Here is the thing.
- which formations will you use for this offensive?
- What will be the head-count? How many vehicles, of which sort, and of which level of fuel consumption?
- How much will they consume in terms of supplies - food, ammunition, and fuel outwards, the wounded and the dead inwards?
- Where will your stock points be? How will materials come into those? How will materials be despatched to the field?
- What deterioration of the supply lines do you expect due to enemy air activity or interdiction shelling? What effect will that have on operations?
- Are supplies available?
- What casualties do you expect? What MTBF do you expect?
- What air support will you need, both offensive - striking at the opponent - and defensive - warding off the opponents' air attacks? Where will you find this?
- What will be your effective force in the field, for each day of the first two weeks, and for each week for the third and fourth weeks?
- As you have seen, the Indian Army is bunched up in knots in places, and very widely spread in others. How will the formations be found? What happens to the gaps that are created? What is the probability that the Pakistan Army will interrogate prisoners, find out their formations, look at the pre-hostility ORBAT, and counter-attack the gaps that will have opened up?
I think we need to get together whoever is interested to play the Indian side in the simulation game on PDF, and, as @Jackdaws has already pointed out, it is ridiculous that we should not be playing a parallel game on DH.sure. what would you need me to do?
@suryakiransure. what would you need me to do?
As an alternative, if you can give me usable e-mail ids that can be used, I can put you into a Google Group. I've just made some cosmetic changes to it to update it for the purposes of coordination of our war-gaming/simulation efforts.
yes. pm or email me

We've been overtaken a bit. As of now, everyone other than you has suggested an alternative e-mail id, they have been registered in the GoogleGroup under this e-mail, and we are all ready for action.yes. pm or email me
you guys go ahead, I am slammed with life stuff, unfortunately and most likely won't be able to participate.We've been overtaken a bit. As of now, everyone other than you has suggested an alternative e-mail id, they have been registered in the GoogleGroup under this e-mail, and we are all ready for action.
If you could just take that extra bit of trouble designing a made-to-order e-mail id, we can put you on and we can start in earnest tomorrow (not the morning, India time, but the afternoon onwards).
No issues.you guys go ahead, I am slammed with life stuff, unfortunately and most likely won't be able to participate.
thanks

Would you like to be an observer, from inside the group, or just watch from outside?
