Fishwelding Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Binge-watching 1980s NATO exercise videos on YouTube. I've seen a few instances where umpires appear to have declared that someone was "dead," as a result of combat, although I'm not quite sure that's what I'm seeing. How did this work? How were troops or AFVs casualty-ed in faux battles? And - here's the diorama inquiry - did anyone bother arguing with troops serving as umpires? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 On exercises I was on, the ump was the ump and usually out ranked me by quite a bit. Sometimes causalities are figured by unit training needs. One common death was who ever was in charge of what ever, so the junior ranks had to take over. The MILES system took a LOT of the guess work out of it, but we very rarely used it in my time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
