A fire test

[FM WarB]

I set up a test, with identical firing units firing over clear terrain, at targets, identical as type, but not organization as defined in the oob. 30 cracks at each. Did not use optional fire results. 25 hard attack factor 15 sp tank cos firing at 14 defense factor tank units.

6 target organazation levels: Combined company (15 tanks, 3 plts), platoon divided from such a company (5 tanks); Combined batalion (51 tanks, 3 cos), Company divided from such a Bn (17 tanks); Independent Company (17 tanks), Independent Batalion (51 tanks).

Results indicate that the parent organization must be Batalion or higher to get the combined morale benifit. Independent cos suffer more morale effects than independent bns.

Interestingly enough, the target that suffered the least losses was the Independent Batalion.
