J3 - BATTLESPACE

Units represent task organizations for land, air or sea. For example, an armored division also includes its “slice” of corps artillery, air defense, engineers, logistics, etc. Air units are designated by their main mission type, such as “tactical.” An air group might include a squadron of fighters, two squadrons of attack aircraft (or fighter-bombers configured for attack), plus electronic warfare and wild weasels used to suppress enemy air defenses. Aerial logistics are figured into such aspects as the relatively unlimited range for US aircraft using aerial refueling. The game system minimizes unnecessary detail and instead allows users to concentrate on the critical functions of the campaign.
