Little Great War - TO&E

This post does have the 'feel' of a university student, spending a deal of time sorting and reorganising his lecture notes, feeling at the end that he has put in a good couple of hours of intense study. However, writing up proper tables of organisation and establishments is necessary prep work for the war games narrative to develop.

In the following each unit - regiment or battalion - comprises a single stand of 4 infantry figures, 3 cavalry or one gun. Infantry stands have 4 Strength Points (SP), cavalry 3SP, machine guns 3SP, artillery and supply columns 2SP. Army commands have 6SP, Corps commands 4SP, Division commands 2SP. Lower formations (brigades) have no distinct command stands.

We begin with the...

  1. What gamers doesn’t enjoy “making lists”? TOE’s for your little armies, lists of figures to buy (a few extra reinforcements never did a wargamer any harm 😉), terrain to construct, “research” to be done - books, internet etc.
    All the best for your continuing efforts in ‘26. Cheers,
    Geoff

  2. Archduke Piccolo,

    That’s a very impressive TOE … and I look forward to seeing those for the rest of your armies in due course.

    I’ve toyed with having single base regiments for my imagi-nation armies but have yet to go down that route … for the moment.

    All the best,

    Bob

  3. Always good to see a Table of Organization Ion, and/or a parade.
    Do you have any military bands?

  4. A proper ToE / OoB is a necessary evil if you want to plan your armies.?
    They pay dividends in the long run.
