Asiaticus, Hawk, Huib,
Out of hospital ~3 hours ago. Am enjoying the proverbial - LEGAL Rocky Mountain High - with enough to last another week. Things are good.
Asiaticus:
(a)Extremely pleased you are looking into those Burma scens. The 5 are Kawkareik, Moulmein, Bilin, Mokpalin and Sittang...if I remember correctly. FYI...in the first two (Kawkareik and Moulmein) the "BNA" units you refer to are really supposed to be a Thai battalion (indeed, Thai...the would not cross the Salween, however, and are not included in the last 3 scens).
(b) in my proto scens, objective hexes are deployed with my own way of establishing their relevence to the scen at hand...and as Huib mentioned are damn nearly always changed (increased in value...usually by him). As always Huib, thanx.
© RE leaders: I do include them in the OOBs but rarely deployed them before, as I thought: (1) leaders are a rather contrived novelty, except for the extrememly, extrememly rare exception; (2) rating leaders, if they are included, is very subjective (and not quantifiable, really) and still a novelty; and (3) for the Japanese...see (d)
(d) The Banzai rules in CS are more of a fanciful novelty than leaders. "Banzai attacks" were nothing more than Japanese "assaults" usually at night. The irresitable reputation they acquired were, indeed, a legend of the Chinese wars...definatly not against the western forces, where the Japanese were slaughtered almost everytime. My recommendation for representing an accurate picture of a "Banzai" charge would be to; increase the morale level of the units desired (which can be done by the designer) and increasing the "assault value" of Japanese infantry (pro-rated, of course, to 1st line, 2nd line and etc.) which can only be done by a developer...but I would strongly recommend that.
FYI my preferred email address is:
[email protected] my handle, of course, here, is Mr. Guberman.
Huib,
Thanx for all of your support. RS was a bastard when it came out and to some extent, still is...but there was so much more to the Pacific theater than the USMC and the USN blasting the Japanese out of rocks.
RE: 2nd Div...will not be able to get a turn out tonight...but will tommorrow...
Hawk,
Ditto as I said to Huib, regarding Kuching and Tarakan...The Japanese commander is experiencing much more than a sake buzz tonight...
As always,
Cheers
Curt
