If you are in a hurry to get started, we might want to start by dividing up the list of generals so that you're not waiting on my results. during the course of the war (Timoshenko, Budenny, and others).įinally, all of these factors are very subjective.I see that the existing ratings rank Vasilievsky as better than Zhukov, which frankly I don't agree with at all. Honestly, I think this will be a rather difficult undertaking, because everything is relative-it is hard to set the ratings for Soviet generals without knowing how their German counter-parts are rated, for instance.Īlso, as previously mentioned, many of the generals were promoted several times during the course of the war, and others suffered significant changes to their political ratings, etc. Hi, I actually haven't gotten very far on this yet, other than selecting the 50 or so Soviet generals I'm most familiar with. If you post your developments in the form of a google table ( like this one), then we can continue working together and check each other's mistakes Hello, I am at my Russian-language forum TOAW ready to help in compiling lists of Russian generals. Definition should include a thorough description of what is being evaluated and a method for quantifying the evaluation.
Whatever you decide to do, I think you’ll need to provide a definition for each category. Actually, I think a scale of 1 to 10 would be better as an evaluation tool than 1 to 100 and 1 to 1000.ĩ. Give him straight 100’s across the board and have the rest compared up or down accordingly. General Schwarzkopf might be a good choice. Suggest you select someone more recent, someone people may find familiar. Good that you have a baseline for assignment of values, but I think Napoleon might be too remote in history and surrounded by too much mythology to make a good standard. Most commanders would have a relatively high ranking, however, there is always a “first” command or maybe a political appointee with no practical experience leading a formation.Ĩ. Add this category to describe the commander’s relative service time in command of a body of troops. I would replace Charisma and Political Strength with Leadership because this is what motivates troops to advance in the face of fire and engage the enemy. I doubt that the troops on the battlefield care much about how the command was granted and I would drop them from the list.Ħ. These are qualities which come into play in Parliament when a command is lobbied. This describes the commander’s drive to take the fight to the enemy. This is good although I would rename it as Aggressiveness. To me it describes the commander’s ability to combine weapon systems, formations and supporting elements into an effective fighting force. This would describe the commander’s ability to plan, execute and manage a battle in both defense and offense.ģ. Suggest you combine these categories into one category such as Battle Management. After all, either a commander is, or isn’t, good at positioning troops for maximum effect. Offensive Tactical Skill and Defensive Tactical Skill. I can just imagine those hard core TOAW-heads having a fit using “tactical” in an “operational” game. The term “Tactical Skill” is used in the criteria. I have a few comments and suggestions which may help to improve the product.ġ.
Obviously quite a bit of effort has already been put into this project, so I hope it isn’t all written in stone. Send a message to my Inbox if you’re interested.Ĭ (322.93 KiB) Viewed 576 times You will join myself, Bill Lott Jr., Jose Antonio (Josant), and Jo van der Pluym on that list. Then there are six parameters to be estimated.Īll I can promise anyone participating is your name in the credits as a part of the Commander Task Force. Each one must have a bitmap picture, a service arm, a rank, and a date of rank. So, this is still a big project.įrom the screenshot, you can see what is required for each. So far, only 92 of them have had that step completed. Their details and parameters now have to be devised. Within the Development Board a few of us have researched out a list of 3051 individual commanders. Similarly, we want to provide future designers with a few thousand Commanders as well (while they will be able to design their own Commanders as desired, a suite of stock Commanders will be a boon to their designs). Recall that list has a couple of thousand equipment items on it. Part of this feature will be a Commander List – similar to the Equipment List that is available to designers now.
Attached is a screen shot of a coming feature of TOAW IV: Commanders.
