MC NATO national army doctrine design question

Hope this is helpful.

I think your approach to try to represent the all-arms "battle-groups" as used by NATO is a much better approach to the oob than in the original game. It was certainly a very strong part of BAOR thinking, especially helped by the fact that most of the officers, especially in a Brigade like 4th Armoured, had gone to school together!!

I can also give you some help with how other Brigades/Divsions were organised as well, though with less precision. If you would like I could also help with the Regimental and Battalion names used in the British Army which are sometimes not accurately represented, especially when abbreviations have to be used, in games.

bdtj1815, that is extremely helpful sir and is exactly the sort of stuff I am looking for!

I have made numerous changes to the 1985 BAOR OOB based on the work and sources of guys like Tazaaron (who put together a superior 1989-era OOB for Bolt 4.7), but it took forever to back date the BAOR to June 1985. For 4 Armoured Bde, I do have QRIH, 17-21L, and 1IG brigaded together, and I have 2RA broken down into her four component batteries.

Still I am certain I have arsed up some of the British Army unit abbreviations and made some other mistakes here and there. I will send you an email later and would be pleased to incorporate whatever feedback you'd like to share.

Much obliged!
