INTRODUCTION TO THE WWII TO&Es

All of the tables in this series were researched and compiled by George Chrestensen, the authorof Micro Squad®: The 1:1 Scale Game. Although intended for use with that game, they can be usedto build forces for any WWII game in any scale.

Beneath each unit’s title you will see a “Cohesion” number. When John Fernandes designedGHQ’s Micro Armour®: The Game , he came up with “Cohesion” as a way to simulate the effectsof the emotional and psychological stresses that plague anyone trying to make reasonabledecisions in the midst of battle. Unique to the Micro Armour® and Micro Squad® games,“Cohesion” refers to a unit’s training, experience, as well as its ability to receive, comprehend,and reasonably attempt to execute orders from their commander.
