Oh poo poo I've spent the last semester extensively studying the Canadian Corps in WWI and I am so loving pumped to participate in this. Of course, this 100% qualifies me for the highest level of command and I am completely incapable of mistakes.  I'll make you proud, old man.

Grey Hunter posted:So I'll give naming chat a little longer, but to show I've not been idle. So are things like Corps sizes dictated by the rules of the game, or modeled after actual armies in WWI? I ask because I've gleamed from my research that divisions were always being meddled with by higher-commands, especially when manpower started to run dry. The Canadian Corps, for example, was always comprised of the 4 Canadian Divisions in France. The British wanted to reduce the size of the divisions and split the force into two Corps to form an Army, but the commanding officer Sir Arthur Currie was adamant that the Canadians should keep fighting as a unified force and that the Divisions not be watered down, with the result being that the Canadian Corps was an unusually large and effective unit for a Corps size formation.

Ballpark: Each square is a company of ~250 men. Each row of companies is a battalion of ~1000 men, each group of battalions is a brigade of ~3000 men, and the group of brigades forms a division of ~10,000 It really depends on individual formations and nations, though, as everyone did things slightly differently and units were rarely the same strength in practice as they were on paper.

I am the allied commander, and apparently hated by spectators, AMA! My compliments to Stalinator and the entire German team for being our opposites in this endeavor. There's a certain feeling of camaraderie that comes from knowing you were experiencing the same, often frustrating, mechanics for the whole game. Here's the link to our interest check for the spectator thread: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jT00DFZTzc9swKCwtUh3jHZw1zu3J5ds3CDOlr-sn6s/edit#gid=0

I hope Grey Hunter does the All Quiet on the Martian Front game and the Allies and Germans have to team up to fight the spectators. e: Artist's rendering https://youtu.be/6ef1YVXM9IU?t=1m35s Generation Internet fucked around with this message at 03:54 on May 9, 2015 |
