Wanting opponents please!

Oddly enough, Soviet Doctrine did include the risking of units to be shot at in order for the Nato defenders to give away positions. I don't mean they just sat there waiting to be shot; I mean they advanced with their own version of Recon By Force. Since there were no real Nato vs Soviet battles during that time, its hard to save if the doctrine would have worked.

Instead of jeeps that cost a fair bit of points, why not buy individual scout teams and send them forward.

Another Soviet doctrine was mass conscription and human wave. You could have many conscripts defending back lines while experienced troops counter attack.

Of course, Nato Doctrine was almost the opposite.

Smaller, more well trained/equipped troop formations. High value placed on survive-ability on the individual soldier and their equipment. Which has the drawn back of high density of points per unit lost. Plus, in a Democracy, if the military is seen as just wasting the lives of their soldiers, the citizens back home would be in an up-roar.

I'm going to design and send the challenges soon. Just how ever long it takes me to make them.

Lets do an Probe. I'll take Blue, you can be Red (we can certainly switch for next time if you like).
