Are the CD supplements useful for other game systems?
Is the OOB and scenario info closely tied to the game system or can it be easly adapted for other games? |

The supplements should be usable with any other platoon level game system. You will have to know how to convert the morale/skill ratings and some of the units are a bit tough to convert (I'm not exactly sure what a weapons stand is for instance). |

@Caesar, I know people who use them for Spearhead and FOW, as well as Rapid Fire and Battlefront.
@Dynaman,
A weapons stand in CD is a mix of machine guns and mortars. For a German infantry battalion as an example, the heavy company consists of 2 MMG platoons and 1 8cm mortar platoon. In practice, these were often pushed down to the rifle companies with 2 sections of machine guns and 1 section of mortars per company. The weapons stand represents those assets. |

Thanks Garret! I have the old armies of WWII for CD2, no other source that I know of lists the support items in a division (field kitchens for example) |

Benghazi Handicap is a great book, full of really useful information, love it. Used the Market Garden book, for a lot of CROSSFIRE scenarios, another great read. John |

Jake does great scenario books, and I second the comment on "Benghazi Handicap" as a great source book. JAS |
