Stats and TOE for next Brigade Commander playtest

Going to do another play test of Brigade Commander this weekend, here are the stats I am going to use.

Brigade Commander

Sample TOE, Group of Soviet Forces Germany, ~1985

Stats

T64 / T72 / T80	Move 12”	Fire vs. Infantry: 6” 1K/1S, 12” 1S Fire vs Armor: 12” 1K/1S Fire vs Light AFV: 12” 1K/1S
T55 / T62	Move 12”	Targeted at +1K when shot at by modern tanks Fire vs. Infantry: 6” 1K/1S, 12” 1S Fire vs Armor: 12” 1K/1S Fire vs Light AFV: 12” 1K/1S
BMP Infantry	Move 12” or 6” and dismount	Fire vs. Infantry: 6” 2K/1S, 12” 1S Fire vs All AFV: 12” 1K/1S  (Stationary Only) Fire versus Light AFV: 6” 1K/1S Moving over 6” in turn, only fire 1S
BTR Infantry	Move 12” or 6” and dismount	Fire vs. Infantry: 6” 2K/1S, 12” 1S Fire vs All AFV: 12” 1S  (Stationary Only) Moving over 6” in turn, only fire 1S
BRDM-3 A/T	Move 12”	Fire vs any vehicle: 12”, 1K, 1S (Stationary Only)
122mm SP Arty	Move 12”	Direct Fire vs. Infantry: 12”, 2S Direct Fire versus any AFV: 12”, 1S Indirect fire: See Indirect fire rules (combine batteries, spotted for by RAG FO)
ZSU-23-4		See Helicopter and Air support Rules TBD
SA-9		See Helicopter and Air support Rules TBD
BRDM or BMP-R		See Recon Rules

All  bases are 1.5” square, except those designated as small, which represent roughly platoon sized attachments and are on 1” squares

Motorized Rifle Regiment (BMP)

HQ

• 3 x Motor Rifle Battalions (BMP)

o 3 x Motor Rifle Companies (BMP)

• 1 x Tank Battalion (MRR)

o 3 x Tank Companies

• Regimental Artillery Group

o 3 x 122mm SP Batteries [Small Base]

o 1 x Forward Observer [Small Base]

• Air Defense Company

o 1 x ZSU-23-4 [Small Base]

o 1 x SA-9 [Small Base]

• Recon Company

o 1 x BMP-R [Small Base]

o 1 x BRDM [ Small Base]

• Anti-Tank Company

o 1 x BDRM-3 (AT-5) Company

My design assumption is that the battalion commanders have parceled out battalion level heavy weapons and that is baked into the unit stats.

Now for the Americans...

Sample TOE, US Army, ~1985

Stats

M1	Move 12”	Fire vs. Infantry: 6” 1K/1S, 12” 1S Fire vs Armor: 12” 1K/1S Fire vs Light AFV: 12” 1K/1S
M2 Infantry	Move 12” or 6” and dismount	Fire vs. Infantry: 6” 2K/1S, 12” 1S Fire vs All AFV: 12” 1K/1S  (Stationary Only) Fire versus Light AFV: +1S Moving over 6” in turn, only fire 1S
M113 Infantry	Move 12” or 6” and dismount	Fire vs. Infantry: 6” 2K/1S, 12” 1S Fire vs All AFV: 12” 1S  (Stationary Only) Moving over 6” in turn, only fire 1S
M901 ITV	Move 12”	Fire vs any vehicle: 12”, 1K, 1S (Stationary Only) Fire vs Infantry: 6”, 1S
M163 Vulcan	Move 12”	See Helicopter and Air support Rules TBD
Stinger Team	Move 12”	See Helicopter and Air support Rules TBD
M3 CFV		See Recon Rules

All company bases are 1.5” square, except those designated as small, which represent roughly platoon sized attachments and are on 1” squares

Brigade, Armored or Mechanized Infantry Division

HQ

• 1 or 2 Armor Battalions

o 4 x Armor Companies (M1)

o 1 x M3 CFV Scout Platoon [Small Base]

• 1 or 2 Mechanized Infantry Battalions

o 4 x Infantry Companies (M113) or (M2)

o 1 x Anti-Tank Company (M901)

o 1 x M3 CFV Scout Platoon [Small Base]

• Attached Air Defense Assets

o 1-2 x M163 Vulcan [Small Base]

o 1-3 x Stinger Teams [Small Base]

Brigade will typically have at least 1 battalion (155mm) from divisional artillery in direct support.  It is assumed that fire support teams are distributed across the Brigade and US Company and Platoon leaders are prepared to call and observe fires as well, therefore all artillery support will be off table and any company may call for fire.

Battalion heave weapons, mortars, etc. are assumed to be distributed to maneuver companies.  The only exception is the Anti-Tank company, which is kept together to better model the amount of anti-tank firepower across the battalion.
