[Mass Combat] Logistics and Guerrilla Warfare

lugaid · 03-07-2022, 05:05 PM

Current events (which we will not be discussing here, I trust) have inspired the ACOUP blog to talk about Protracted Warfare and how weak forces can combat stronger forces. It also got me thinking about the roleplaying possibilities involved, which can be demonstrated in, for one example that's been on my mind, the "Operation Desert Pasta" short episode of the anime series The Saga of Tanya the Evil/Yōjo senki. However, looking at the Mass Combat rules, there doesn't seem to be a lot of support for unconventional warfare, only a note that logistics forces require a "clear supply line" back to the origin of the supplies. Anyone have any suggestions on how to handle such matters in Mass Combat?
