I propose a battle between mainly infantry forces... only vehicles allowed : transport (eventually armored) with MG or HMG or (limited to maximum 3) grenade launchers ... no autocannon vehicles.. or heavy tanks
I also propose : no air support (even drones forbidden), no TRP (target reference points) and also no complex AA systems (like Tunguska, armed also with deadly autocannons, that can be used against ground targets, with deadly effects).. i'm ok with less powerful ATM vehicles.. (maybe they could be less important with previous limitations.. or not ...) ... i'm also fine with 1 HE vehicle for each side, with a maximum number of 5 per side...
I have a list that i will report here
Ukrainian Army :
BTR-70, MT-LBM, PRP-4M, BRDM-2, BRM-1K (73 mm HE gun, but limited ammo and fire rate... this could be considered their battle tank) + any other ATGM vehicle i missed, armed only with AT missiles
Russian Army :
MT-LBM, PRP-4M, BRDM-2M, BRDM-2M (AT-5), Tigr (MG), Tigr (AGS 17), BRM-1k (same as Ukrainian army) + ATGM vehicles (as above for Rus Army)
USA :
Strykers : M1130, M1127, M1131, M1134 Humvee: M1151 (MG), M1151 (Mk19), M1151 (M240B), M1167 and also M1200 (Armored Knight) and M1128 Mobile Gun System (105 mm HE ) as equivalent of their main battle tank (identical considerations as above)..
I know that it may seem complicated, but i pratically avoided (in the OOB) all vehicles with auto-cannon that make infantry combat almost irrelevant.. the remaining vehicles are also deadly, but make infantry still an important factor... this shouldn't be a battle only focused on winning the anti-tank (TOW, RPG, Javelins and ATGM vehicles) vs Tank battle as crucial part of the strategy... i think that it makes battles more fun and doesn't suppress the mobile component (vehicle speed and support fire) in any case..
Let me know what do you think !
Then i (or you, if you have preferences) will propose a battlefield.
I'm also Ok for a + 15% or even + 20 % bonus in case one side fights against US Army.
And lastly : i would propose a maximum of 3 infantry squads with grenade launchers and 3 vehicles armed with grenade launchers (AGS 17 or Mk19) .. Ukrainian Army seems missing such vehicles, so we could restrict to a maximum of 5 total teams (inf squads plus vehicles armed)
Arty limited to 2 assets per side (any power) but no preplanned strike for defender (even delayed) or in ME battles (for both sides).
Unlimited on map guns or mortars or any other team (ATM, RPG, MG or HMG)..
Hope you like the rules.. i'm sure they will make for a very fun battle (i suggest a 45 min battle on medium map)
