Quantifying Waypoints

[Imp]

Right the diffrence in setoff time is due to the size of the formation on map?
I am busy at the moment only had time for a cursory read of your info waiting till get an afternoon free so can sit down & take in but looking hectic all week at the mo.

Correct. Less units on-map, smaller UIF, smaller number of deleted buffer WPs per Turn. The "effect" is as if the on-map unit is "waiting" for the off-map ones.

Actually the random probability effect should better work with sections or single units rather than platoons.
The point is to give a bigger replayability to any custom battle.
I would like to see this at an effect, in which any meeting engagement could turn out to become an offensive or defensive battle.

Here is what I was talking about (Set "Russia" to human and formation B to computer control, repeat it, say, 5 times and note the turn the formation commences movement).

You can randomize via reinforcements.
But there is another way to "randomize" simultaneoysly the response of all formations to their waypoint paths (and especially if they include secondary (buffer) waypoints)...
...must write part 2 of "quantifying waypoints" immediately

OK RL has caused some delay on Part B of "Quantifying Waypoints" but I'm about half way through and moving on.
BTW has anybody gone through the attached text and test scens or am I dancing solo here? (which would actually be the story of my life! )

...seriously now, I'm really interested in some feedback on this one ...

I also have run face first into ML and have very limited time for doing anything "fun" at present. I still try to access the forums here once/twice a day to keep tabs on what's going on but hav't had time to actually play, or play with, WinSPMBT for a month or so.

I am however VERY interested in your project hoplitis !
