RE: Anyone interested in reviving the point system for unit values?
Maybe the place to start might be with infantry, as the designer has acknowledged that PG is an infantry game that plays like a tank game.
Rus. Infantry direct fire 4/ range 3/ movement 3, PG purchase value 15 points.
Ger. infantry 5/3/3 purchase value 24.
Rus heavy machine gun platoon 7/4/2 purchase value 31 points
Ger heavy machine gun platoon 9/7/2 purchase value 51 points
So far this sounds like there is a Germanocentric bias in point values, but all the values here and above reflect an adjustment for morale level of the force. These points reflect a German morale of 8/7, and a Soviet morale of 7/5. Increasing the second number in the morale level increases point cost by 20%, reducing it by one point decreases unit cost by 20%, i.e. buying German infantry at 8/6 would cost 19 points per platoon, and buying Soviet infantry at 7/6 would cost 18 points per platoon.
