Dslyecxi - dedication

Haha, when I first opened this up I couldn't believe the amount of content. It's gonna take us a year to through all that

to b fair he's been writting the material, which hasn't changed much between iterations for some time now.

Not belittling the effort - but it wasn't all written for A3.

Dslyecxi works on VBS (the real military simulator used by the US government) for BI. I remember him confirming this as a response to a youtube comment.

While on the subject - I've been reading the TTP2 guide and came across this:





These are custom modified NATO markers made for ShackTac. Since our fireteam structure resembles theirs (Alpha-1, Alpha-2 etc), these markers would be extremely useful. Does anyone feel like drawing up some markers similar to this that we can use (Howl - nudge, nudge )?

Thanks Mike, very useful image.

Our current unit structure is as you described, however we haven't attached a Troop Support Section (yet). Perhaps as you grow this can be added

Howl - a simple modification of the current infantry symbols to include fireteam numbers and callsigns (as in the above image) would be excellent.

Very cool diagrams

Following Benzy's point and in regards to fireteams, I want to start putting more emphasis on the individuality that fireteams should have within a section. On MrSir's mission we had teams of 4 (if I remember correctly) which we treated as separate sections. This gave us more freedom to distribute teams where we wanted to them (i.e. I find having 4 teams of 4 more useful than 2 teams of 8, if that makes sense).

Although I don't want to separate the fireteams within a section, I do want to give FTL's more control over their fireteam (as opposed to all orders coming straight from the SC). For example, Alpha-1 would order Alpha-2 to engage enemies of the right while Alpha-1 engages the front. Alpha-2's FTL would then command his fireteam separately while they complete this task. This allows Alpha-1 to get on with their own task and not need to worry about commanding Alpha-2. Currently I don't think we do this enough and we treat a Section as one large Fireteam.

I hope that makes sense.
