AMM FORMATIONS (RECOSTED) Feb 16, 2022 21:33:21 GMT

In an attempt to make the formations more usable, I did a re-cost on them. All I did was take the original cost of the formation units and calculated the percent of savings gained by using the formation, then applied that same percent to the updated cost of units. This is what I came up with.....

Comments or corrections welcome

Thanks.

Not sure I follow. Are you saying the the entire list of formations, on all six pages should be cheaper?

The three formations you have listed were recalculated with this method.....

US SHERMAN - ORIGINAL COST = 96pts, FORMATION = 80 pts which is a 83% savings. RE-COSTED = 76 pts, utilizing 83% saving makes FORMATION COST = 63

ITALIAN LIGHT - ORIGINAL COST = 36pts, FORMATION = 30pts which is a 83% savings. RE-COSTED = 28 pts, utilizing 83% savings makes FORMATION COST = 23

GERMAN PANZER II - ORIGINAL COST = 36pts, FORMATION = 29pts which is 81% savings. RE-COSTED = 28 pts, utilizing 81% savings makes FORMATION COST = 23

You can perfectly play with Formations without recosting, are 61 cheaper compared with recosted units and only 3 (US SHERMAN, ITALIAN LIGHT, GERMAN PANZER II) are higher.
Light tanks for Early War 1940. Original cost 9 each one.

Sherman Easy Eight was reduced 20 pts. 54 to 34. Sherman keeps same cost 21.

Its difficult to make a comparative: French Light tank vs Axis. R35 are 4/4 cost 9 and keeps the cost
U.S. Recon Element is other level (Chaffee 1945)

I always played with Recosted Units, Formations and Expanded Rules. Adding more variety & complexity specially using Enfilade and overwatch.

-Play with Original cost units and Formations.
-Play with Recosted Units and Formations. My option. I started in 39-45 with new scale, expanded rules.
-Play with recosted units and Houserules Recosting Formations.

All I wanted to do is make the cost of the formation more relative to the updated cost of units. I find these updated costs more appealing, maybe others will also.
