On the ship we had a game set up around a severely understrength battalion, with the guys we had playing that came in and out of the game when they could join us. The core group of nine was always there with thsoe who couldn't stay fo rthe whole game would be 'guest stars' and the like. All total there was between 26 to 32 people playing.
its where we came up with the wartime platoon organzation.. we had come with the the organization for the combat elements of the battalion that was moving and incorporating stragglers from 5ID as they moved behind Soviet lines sabotaging and causing as much hell as possible to buy other elements of the division to get back to NATO lines.

Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
