Turn 4 End Orders of Battle Going Out

I am about to send out the Turn 4 End Orders of Battle to each player. The players will receive a TC2M OB file with their order of battle as of July 31st and their enemy's order of battle as of July 1st.  On your friendly OOB:

  • Ammunition for reflects status on July 31st
  • Order of battle and commanders reflects status on July 31st, before the arrival of any new units or any subsequent changes in command structure
  • Commanders represent commanders on the field on July 31st. 
  • Strength represent present for duty on July 31st. This is after sick call and desertions are deducted. Some units have very few men sick. Others had some major sickness in July. Both sides have provost marshals, so desertion was kept to a minimum. 
  • Unit quality represents the quality as of July 31st. All units attained at least a trained (2) level. Others have attained a higher level through combat.
The enemy OOB is prior to any engagements. It is helpful intelligence and can be considered as information collected on the field during combat (e.g. collected or observed weapons) and information gathered from prisoners. Players will be able to see the enemy command structure, units, weapons, commanders, and any units that were trained prior to the campaign.

Again, strengths are only present for duty on July. Monthly returns will be sent out that will show how many are absent. Men who are in the hospital (sick or wounded) or prisoners have not been removed from the rolls and may return. A small percentage of those who were in the hospital have been discharged from service due to disability and have been removed from the rolls with those who were killed and those who deserted. Some returning convalescents joined their units on July 31 and more could join units at the end of June.
