About the villages you've talked about, Mohoender, what was their approximated size in WW2? I'm trying to determine the "ideal" size to prepare a game.
One more possible variation. In the 17th century, one of the ways that the Spanish "Tercios" used to establish themselves as cantonments was following the "alojamiento" regime ("alojamiento" can be translated as accommodation). While in "alojamiento" regime, soldiers were direcly distributed among the homes of the inhabitats of the selected villages (one or more villages, depending of their sizes). It could be just for a one day, if the military unit was on its way to a disputed area, but it could be indefinitely in a difficult zone or near the front. In its better version, the "alojamiento" regime was agreed between civilian and military authorities. In the worst case, the owners of the house where the soldier was accommodated must keep him fed without receiving anything in exchange. Sadly, this method was normally used in villages and towns viewed as enemies or hostiles and the accommodation of the troops implied abuses and excesses. In the better form of "alojamiento" , a list was previoulsy negotiated, containing all the products that the family must supply to the "guest", with the agreement that the final expenditure will be covered by, for example, the king.
This type of cantonment could be an alternate setup for the same "revolt" seed.
