The Competition & Teaser Thread

[Outlaw Josey Wales]

Standard combat load was something along the lines of 180 rounds, which could be fired rather quickly in heavy combat. Going abstractly though, I see it covering the fact that in ww2, many a soldier carried several bandoleers of ammo in addition to what they already carried and the same goes for more modern as it was and is not unheard of soldiers carrying extra magazines. I'm wondering if maybe it might not be better to look at supply here just like PzCs having the option of explicit supply, but figure the length of scenario should be the deciding factor. If the time frame is a couple hours or even several hours, supply would rarely be the issue vs a scenario that would cover more than at least 12 hrs to a full day or more.

One thing to consider ifit hasn't is the fact that ammo checks were made after every action and more distributed if on hand and enough time to do so before the fight started all over again. That was one of our SOPs both times I served, although I didn't have to find out about it in combat. Even in training, there were times that not all in the same platoon or company even fired a round depending on terrain and location to the enemy leaving some units and parts of units that didn't need the resupply. So, I can see where you are coming from with the supply as it is now.

What is the time length of the smallest and longest scenarios?
