Wire Diagrams - Yea or Nay?
A lot of the old supplements has unit organization "wire diagrams" in them.  I suspect they were just filler, as Dr. B has said that he won't be bringing them back in updates of old supplements or new supplements.  I have always liked them as a way of seeing how the PG units fit into the bigger picture, and never thought they were worthless.  I'm curious what others thought, hence this poll.

I loved them as well; but I love Modified Tables of Organization and Equipment (MTOE) / Orders of Battle (ORBATs). It helps one understand a little better why armies fought like they did. Besides I think it helps folks interested in designing future games.

I find them interesting to look at, and the context it gives at a glance is valuable, but page space is limited in the printed books and I'd rather have more game content. Wire Diagrams and whatnot are great as daily content material.

I hated them personally; I thought they were fillers used when AvP ran out of material.

To the contrary, I found the wire diagrams more interesting than much of the (diatribe) text.

RE: Wire Diagrams - Yea or Nay?
Maybe posting them here on the HQ in either their own section or the formations section would be an alternative.

There used to be a section on PG-HQ for wire diagrams, which was never developed. I was thinking of using them in my battalion cards project, sort of a random scenario generating system. Problem is that another project has filled up the time.

I once went though and grabbed all the wire diagrams I could find off AP's site. Not sure how many that is but I have them around.
