DD,
I agree with you, but the problem is the following:
What should we use as infantry platoons for the core force?
The stock OOB is providing us with a platoon(H)(scouts+Helos), some support helos (gunships) and some scout helos.
Concerning the Gunship and the Scout helos there isn't any actual problem (since they have 0 transport values); we may include them from ToO 2 or 3...
The problem (concerning gameplay issues) would be if we include Helos as transport for the core force in the first couple of ToOs. This is why, I think we may start our core force (all the rest will be AUX) with the mechanized infantry (troop type D?), then we may add a divisional attachment of enginners (ToO2?) and from that point we may decide (multiple choices method) the support elements of the core force that will be added in ToO 3,4 & 5.
We should also try to think which ToO (4-7) will be qualified as the one for the addition of the transportable elements of the Cav Div (troops+Helos platoon). From a given point the existence of a couple of platoon (H) won't matter since the missions will include enough AA cover for the NVA.
Also in the final couple of historical ToOs the battles will include a lot of units (huge scenarios/maps) and Air transportation will be included in the scenario analysis.
So, what should we use as the starting element of our core force?
cheers,
