Point Values

[Huib Versloot]

because they will PROBABLY lose about 50 sp Volksgrenadiers which are 2vp worth more than the American infantry for some irrelevant reason.

Your kidding right?
Volksgrenadiers start appearing in 1944?
Each German soldier was worth more than his American counter part due to the fact the Germans had severe manpower issues.

The Germans could not afford losses like the Americans could.

That is not an irrelevant reason.

Thanx!

Erik,

While the manpower issue is true (and just as true for the Canadians in late 1944, early 1945 for example), it is irrelevant in the scope of a CS scenario, which is not a campaign game but restricted to smaller battles without replacements.
You might as well say than that a single Tiger tank should be worth 50 or 100 vp as this could be it's relative value compared with a Sherman or T34 in 1944-45. To come back to the Volksgrenadier. The fact that the volksgrenadier appears in 1944 is irrelevant as well. My point is that it should not be worth more than an US inf unit because it's capability is not more (in fact a US inf unit with morale 8 is much better than a volksgren with morale 5). And even if it was, it would be better for the game if values were equal, because I would represent the historical difference of quality in the scenario design's victory conditions taking into account the historical situation and morale etc..
