JSU-ISU does anyone care? - plloyd1010 - 11-17-2024
For Vassal, the Soviet inventory currently has the JS-2, JS-3, JS-4 and JSU-152. Fire & Sword has the ISU-122. I think I'll be calling it JSU-122. Are there any strong feelings and/or convincing arguments against doing so?
I know it's English/Germanic vs. Latin/Cyrillic argument. I was thinking of putting something in the OOB notes about that.

Consistency is a good thing
I don't care much as long as I have them, not facing them....

It is named after Stalin who wrote his name as Ио́сиф Виссарио́нович Ста́лин which first letter is "E" as in ee-yo-s-ee-f so for me I would call them IS-2 etc because JS would be very wrong phonetically

Fire & Sword has an expansion of the Road to Berlin counterset. This picture shows why they are JS and JSU in Vassal.
That should settle the issue. Staying with the J.

I would leave as printed on the counter, changing it might confuse somebody who does not know the muddled history of these deisgnations.
