[WarInEur] Changing unit strength.

[Hansen]

Chuck:
You do not have the ability to change you tactical doctrine no matter 
how much you know you as the Leader of your country can not provide the 
data that was acquired in combat. The allies over time adapted to the 
modern war style the Germans were using. Dieppe was a learning 
experience for the British, and a very bad defeat, only in time did they 
gain the ability to partially counter the German methods.

John:
The above is why I liked the idea of combining changing unit strength with
combat experience. Having some sort of sliding scale that lets the allies
upgrade individual units the whole army or a combination (some individual
units until you reach a critical mass and then the rest of the army makes
that step) based on combat experience. This would include losing in combat. 

If done right, this would mean that the UK would have an incentive to put
troops into France not so much to preserve France, but to get the combat
experience. Like wise for Greece.

This wouldn't solve the issues that Chuck is talking about, but it would
move the wallies into a more historical mode of action for nibbling around
the edges rather than just wait until you have enough to crush the Germans.

A D-Day with the Allied divisions at a 4 or 5 strength would not be pretty.
