Soviet Army 1989, Category C

[sabresandy]

I would think the 100mm AT guns would be part of the equipment for the older divisions, but the Kastet and Kan missiles would not be. I play with a modified Orbat to reflect that fact. Try cloning over the T-12 gun from the North Vietnamese orbat and giving it better vision and a laser rangefinder.

There are T-12 type AT guns in many WP nation OOBs. I think it would be easier to just buy them as captured kit rather than edit OOBs for a single PBEM game...

Thing is, I need to educate myself a bit on all the variants of Russian gear. Not quite sure what type of formation used what for some of the equipment...

I'm also interested in the Swiss army defences. Especially the use of armour - supposedly the Swiss had more manouver-oriented ideas in the 1980s than previously - i.e. they did not *only* prepare for mountain forts, blown bridges and landslides.

In the first PBEM game I neglected to check out the Swiss OOB and got a nasty surprise from Leopard 2s and SP Artillery with CM munitions. My Cat C regiment lost most of the tank bn, one full rifle bn with most of the availiable BTRs and the other rifle bn's were reduced with about a company each.
