Soviet "Troop Backers"
Posted: Sat Dec 10, 2011 3:01 pm
Is there any way to make "troop backers" like the Soviets had in WWII? It would require these Soviet troops fire on their own troops if they did not attack or stand fast in a battle. This may be a trick the AI cannot manage. It would certainly establish initiative in the Soviet Conscripts. In an effort to replicate (somewhat) the effect of this, I have sometimes placed an experienced Guards or Regulars unit beside a Conscript unit in the game, thinking that maybe the proximity would increase the initiative and resolve via support of the nearby Soviet troops.
