I like Raellus' idea that you'd be lucky if 1-in-3 radios were still operable,
Hey Anna do you recall what thread this post was in? I can't remember it and it doesn't even sound vaguely familiar. I'm curious to read it because I tend to think that the odds of a working radio would be directly related to how it was employed.
For example, radios in armoured vehicles have a better chance of surviving (if the vehicle isn't destroyed) due to all the protection afforded by the vehicle. Infantry radios are likely to suffer a much higher attrition rate but given that some vehicle radios are basically infantry radios with some bits to adapt them to vehicles rather than something built into the vehicle, there's still the possibility that your odds could be better than 1-in-3 for infantry to have some radios.
