I'm just organising some late Eastern Front forces for a game and I've come across something that's puzzling me.

The Russians get no FAC. I can live with this - I understand that it models the limitations of the Red Army's doctrine. So only scheduled air strikes then.

But how do I deal with the fact that a Soviet force is allowed three Aircraft but only two Ground Attack assets?

Yes...this can be confusing.....

But look at other army lists ....and you'll see more examples where the max aircraft units per battlegroup are larger than the max number of assets for ground-attack air.

This is because (as per p8 of the Rules....third paragraph of Scheduled Strikes section)
...the asset limit number is per unit ....not per battlegroup.

Hope this helps.

The third guy has the map to the target.

As AJ says - assets are limited by unit, so that's two sorties available per aircraft model, not between them

Oh, thanks! I'd completely missed that. Makes considerable sense.

Cheers!
