Re: Urban combat needs to be looked at

Urban combat ALWAYS benefits the defender. You need look no further than the Ukraine-Russo war at Bakhmut and Melitopol [sp?]. In general it is considered a 3:1 advantage is necessary to prevail over a defender. When the offensive is aimed at the urban environment, however, 3:1 is out the window and...

Re: Let's Take a Look at Urban Combat Again

Greetings! I will not try to discuss the CV penalties and the like, as I have not been playing long enough to do so. I can, however, point to current events as an example. In the war in Ukraine, I think much can be learned from the sieges of Mariupol, Kherson, and Bakhmut: It took the Russians month...

Re: Truck vs horse vs feet

I can tell you the standard rate of march for 'foot-mobile' infantry in the USMC is calculated at 4 mph. I would imagine it would have been the same in WW II. There are plenty of pics out there showing German infantry conducting route marches during Barbarossa. The 'catch', however, is how long a fo...

Re: Interesting discussion: Is attacking better than defending?

I would submit defense is inherently stronger, based on writings by many who know more about war than I. The generally accepted theory is the attacker must have a 3:1 advantage to be successful. I would point out, however, this does not necessarily mean in manpower. There are other ways to gain a 3:...

RE: Recon Missions 20k high Flak losses?

Greetings! Generally speaking, based on my experience in the military, the arty must be 155mm/15cm (or heavier) to be considered 'heavy'.
