May I moderate this? Been sitting idle waiting to moderate some threads. A note of discretion to the Russian character taking part in this battle; conscript soldiers are significantly weaker than the average trained soldiers, just so you know.

Anyhow!

Like I just said to you in the chat-box, sorry, I didn't see the names in the brackets. I naturally assumed this was a fresh battle sign-up.

Well if you guys need a filler for a place or whatever, let me know.

Sorry, I posted that before we spoke in the c-box.

Note taken. If you have any advice on how to properly use them, it would be appreciated, Danny boi!

You can read what's all needed to be read about the Russian conscripts within the shop's descriptions. In short:

• Conscripts are the weakest soldiers on the site and most poorly trained.
  
  
• Experienced Conscripts are more on level with an ordinary soldier's training, but purely skilled through experience on the battlefield and I would regard these units on level with a Corporal ranked soldier in comparison to other nationality units.
  
  
• Veteran Conscripts are considered the hardened soldier of the Soviet forces. They're on level with a Sergeant ranked soldier in comparison to other nationality units and from my personal perspective, are probably the most elite unit in regard to experience that Russian characters can purchase on the forum.
  
  
• Commissar unit is probably the one unit you're going to most definitely need when dealing with a large number of ordinary conscripts. Without this political officer to keep the conscripts in tow, you may have a problem on your hand.
  

On another note, I know it may seem unfair that I'm giving advice to a member within this battle I'm about to moderate, but being pitched against veteran members and most probably the forum's most skilled, it feels only fair to give a significantly weaker opponent the chance of understanding their units better.

I'm in no way providing tactical or strategic support in regard to the map, but rather explaining the complicated outlay in regard to Soviet troops. They're not just you're average normal soldier trained unit and require a method of control to be able to use them effectively. Which I feel should be pointed out.

With all that said, just notify me when this battle has begun. I will be required to do a moderation post after each neutral post made, due to a Sniper classed unit on the map, this could inevitably give away his position from the beginning if stepped upon.

Many thanks for that el-PuNkO!

[Edward"Butcher"McMillan]

I have no issues with you helping Hautt understand his troops...only right if you ask me

I will be the first to post...will be putting that up today along with PMing you a map with my location boss man.

Received your PM Bro. Also, another note to all members in this thread, could someone from each side of this battle forward a PM to me with what units they're using please? This should include their names and ranks.

Thank you, this information will be added to the moderation post/s.

Now that Christmas is over, I've sent PMs to people looking for SNPCS, and once I figure out what units I have to work with, I'll put up a post.

Also, does anyone have an "ethical" objection to Mac borrowing a medic from Brannigan?

[PuNk! ™]

Well... I have bit of an obligation Mac with you "wanting to borrow" a medic from Brannigan. You haven't even bleeding well asked me if you could?

Brannigan is my medic, if you hadn't noticed.

[Mac Bargett]

I know, I didn't want to ask you, then have someone (not necessarily JT or Nathan, maybe even an outside bystander) make a stink about the mod supplying units for a side.
