Hi there, I just started getting acquianted with "real" ww2 wargaming.
Im an absolute NOOB, so please excuse my everything. I have downloaded some free rulesets, read them through, and i think, i will start with the ghq micro armour rules. Theres one thing in the basics, what makes me confused.
I cant find a rule, which takes into account unit strenght, based on the number of vehicles/guns/anything represented on a stand.
For example, in my opinion, a stand representing a unit with 4 T34s should have more firepower than a stand with a unit of 3 PzIIIs (or PZ IVs).
The rule tables contain combat values for individual vehicles. Do these values cumulate? Or do represented vehicles fire and take damage separately? Dont think so.
I find combat rules reasonable for infantry units, but for AFVs i find it too simplified.
I know im missing something.
Please, can anyone help me to understand this most basic principle?
Thanks |

IIRC the AFV values are per stand and assumes 1 mosel per stand. |

All the unit stats are per stand. Each stand represents (roughly) a platoon of 3-5 vehicles. Usually you'll base 1 vehicle model per stand but the number of models on a stand doesn't matter. |
