DCs in RB CGs

[Bob Miller]

QUESTIONs: Regarding the DC/FT replenishment rule, the FT rule makes sense, roll a 10 and it is out of fuel only, not broken, for the remainer of that scenario, Refit phase allows the troops to go back to the garage to refill the tank. But why a DC? That sachel charge blows up, there ain't nothing around to refill. In a RB campaign game those DCs are alot more powerful due to this replenishment rule. Any explainations?

Another question related to DCs and RB CG. If the Russians buy an elite SMG company they get one DC. Can that DC be used in that scenario date as a Set DC? What if that elite SMG company starts out in reserve, still allowed to Set it ??? There is the rule that all equipment supplied to a company must be possessed initially by a unit from that company for that next scenario. The Set DC rule seems to stretch this. Any help appreciated. I asked these two questions in our AAR of RB CG-I

Units that had demo charges (historically) usually had lots of them. Far more than appear in a typical scenario. I suspect they are limited in scenairos because it would be out of whack to assume that a company of infantry were carrying 10+ demo charges.

At any rate, it makes very good sense, from my Point of View, that DC are replenished.

Think of it as just another supply item of ammunition to be replaced between the intense parts of the fighting. FT fuel, or another bundle of your favorite explosives (if the engineers are around to put them together right).

Damaged SW on the other hand might have required parts not readily available.

Thank you Sam and Pete for the reply. The second question was answered in my AAR thread. Pete I missed WW this year, hopefully you made it and kicked butt. Think about the Open this year.
