Why A Unit Demand Generator

While the Planner's Reference Manual exists, this program was designed to assist in quick calculations across various sized elements accounting for state of conflict, attrition, and realistic demand request based on those static values. Every time the program is run, demand is randomly sampled from a normal distribution based on the values found in the Planner's Reference Manual, providing a more realistic demand generation for logistics-based wargames.
