Without giving anything away obviosly can anybody give details on Brigade Makeup.
Apart from taxi I see there are also TOW varients & MGS which I assume fills a CS tank type role more than engaging enemy APC/IFV. I would be intrestead to know the rough ratio these 3 vehicles are deployed at though obviosly varies on mission. I like the addition of the MGS should make quick work of that MG or fortified position plus the TOW could always help out.
Is the troop version just armed with MG or do they mount grenade launchers as these seem to have gained favour.
I see yet another interim armour upgrade is being done & a proper upgrade is in the works so I am guessing protection levels now exceed M113s by some margin. On that from what I have managed to find seems to be able to go most places as well as an M113 though tracks will always win on the real bad stuff but is it getting time to let the 113 go?

Ok I guess this is American :hide: No Worries, You see the disclaimer the numbers are under development, of the Symbols?
I Like them with the Little wheels Mechanise Infantry.

It would be nice to post or provide a link to the meaning of this Tactical Battle map Symbols.

I have the 2006 US Army Land Navigation & Map Text book and those symbols do not appear.


These are New Smybols http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APP-6A

This is the definition of these Symbols US http://www.history.army.mil/books/wwii/11-4/symbols.htm


This is for ARMY

Rungs may be skipped in this ladder: for example, typically NATO forces skip from battalion to brigade. Likewise, only large military powers may have organizations at the top levels and different armies and countries may also use traditional names, creating considerable confusion: for example, a British or Canadian armored regiment (battalion) is divided into squadrons (companies) and troops (platoons), whereas an American cavalry squadron (battalion) is divided into troops (companies) and platoons.
