Heaven Isn't Close in a Place Like This

[Mikhail Vostrikov]

I'd like to join Kapitan Sokolov for this battle.

[Christopher J. D'Dario]

-=[Sighs]=- Oh well, one day soon you and I will fight on the same battlefield JT. Probably facing the same way, or faceing each other. Either way, I think it would be a good battle.

[Apostolis Petrovich Sokolov]

Alright, now we will have to sort these NPC's out.

Since I have 9 Conscripts and I believe Comrade Vostrikov has a squad, we can bring a total of 17 men. Conscripts are worse/more ill-equipt than the average private, so maybe if you guys bring 10 to 12 privates and 2 machine-gunners, totaling out to twelve or fourteen men, it would even out our 17 conscripts?

[Christoph Morreti]

Sounds good to me.

[Christopher J. D'Dario]

Ok, I have 9 men. Two of those are Machine Gunners and one is a Sniper. I would like to bring my sniper in too. Italian troops arnt that well equiped either.

[Christoph Morreti]

Since the sniper wont be hiding it will still probably be even.

[Apostolis Petrovich Sokolov]

Well, to be honest, I think the 9 men versus our 17 is still rather bad odds for me. While Italian troops might only have a decent rifle, Conscripts are given only enough training to be able to attach a bayonet, dig a hole, and reload/fire a rifle. This training period can be anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks if they are lucky. However, Italian troops are given up to a month of training and drilled in the intracacies of combat. You will also have THREE machine-guns on the field, putting an INSANE amount of bullets down-range. Add a sniper on top of that and you can effectively pin and eliminate a much larger force. You guys also have a decent starting position, including large chunks of cover from both sides and a building.

If you are open to it I would appreciate trying to haggle down the amount of MG's and possibly the sniper. I'm open to reducing the amount of Conscripts I have currently.

What about 10 conscripts versus 5 Soldatos and 1 Sniper/MG?
Or perhaps 16 Conscripts versus 6 Soldatos and 1 MG and 1 Sniper?

[Heiko Alkema]

For modding purposes, Italian troops are no worse than any of their Western European counterparts.

[Christopher J. D'Dario]

Alright, I like the sound of your 16 conscripts vs 6 soldats.

[Christoph Morreti]

I'm fine with it too.

I know the reins for modding this battle has passed between JT to Nathan, but Nathan, would you mind if I modded this battle please? I haven't had the chance to mod anything for a while and I wouldn't mind taking up a thread to mod. Only if you're fine with it.
