I have had that doc since before I found this forum. I literally spent months playing around with it before deciding that the "barely 1000" men could never support the 8th Mech's declared equipment. It therefore languished in my docs folder until now. Hope someone can build upon it.

Edit: I should note that I threw in a few exotic vehicles (M1AEV, M5AVR, M1 Bridge, etc) just to give myself some options as a GM. They probably should be replaced with a M88, a M113 and a M60 AVLB. The Anti Air assets are also probably too high, but the EESB does mention several stingers per infantry company, so I included them.

Any comments or critic are welcome

PS:

This is absolutly not CANON as I think it's a lot easier to make shit up than to use dusins of hours researching.(Even though some researching have commenced) Apart from that this is work anyone can modify for his or her pleasure.

I like doing research -- it's therapeutic.

I agree, if it wasn't for my research projects, I'm pretty sure my head would have exploded by now

I like the work you've done. I'm especially appreciative that you've maintained the spirit of Twilight: 2000 in your organization. I note that the 91st ID hasn't come across any hidden stockpiles of tanks and TOW missiles. The battalions are quite small. This is a weak division, but it's exactly the sort of combat formation one would expect in late 2000/early 2001. Nicely done!

This is an orbat for a small civillian unit that I faced in a twilight 2000 game. They were a small light unit something like the selous scouts.

Sqaud Leader:
M59 SKS, 100 rounds 7.62x39mm
2-F1 hand grenades

Rifleman/Grenadier:
M59/66 SKS, 100 rounds 7.62x39mm
4-anti tank rifle grenades

Rifleman/Grenadier:
M59/66 SKS, 100 rounds 7.62x39mm
4-anti tank rifle grenade

Rifleman/Grenadier:
M59/66 SKS,100 rounds 7.62x39mm
4-anti tank rifle grenade

Rifleman/Grenadier:
M59/66 SKS, 100 rounds 7.62x39mm
4-anti tank rifle grenade

Sniper:
M-48 Mauser Rifle Zrak 4X24mm ONM76 scope
100 round 7.92x57mm
TT-33, 25 rounds 7.62x25mm, 3-8 round magazines.


fighting agaisnt this small 6 man unit was remarkably challenging despite the fact they where only armed with SKS's. While some of the rifleman accurately aimed and fired their rifles at us,we took cover and others fired rifle grenades at us pinning us down. When the men in my unit broke from cover to fire at the grenadiers the unit sniper picked them off and they whole team was supported by accurate rifle fire.

The unit I was in was what what left of a Russian motor rifle sqaud. We had 5 guys armed with AK-74's and one PKM machine gunner. We had no RPG's or GP-25 and no sniper, they took out our Machine gunner imediatly and everytime a rifleman in the company picked up the machine gun they shot him. A couple of other Russians soldiers were wounded by shrapnel from the rifle grenades. We did manage to wound the sqaud leader after which they broke contact.

Weak by the standards we normally assign to formations, but by 2000/2001 the reformed 91st would be a preetty powerful formation...except for the level of training of the majority of the troops. The adventure is built around forming up and testing the unit against Soviet, Mexican and marauder elements in Southern California.
With a little research, I figured it would make more sense for this kind of formation to pull the 106mm rcls back out as the ammunition would be easier to manufacture and the system has many less quirks. Its the mortar equivalent for the anti-tank side and can be used for bunker busting too.
Thanks btw
