Not sure about that… could be potential disaster… only infantry should be limited.
then we would have to also limit artillery and even tanks…and this is not good either.
why should their be limits on mech infantry?
@Imperious:
this would be different for each nation based on need… however the soviets had alot of mechanized divisions about 1/3 of all her land divisions in total were purely mech infantry, while italy had few… Germany had a bit more , while americans mostly had mobile infantry… you may even call them all mechanized infantry.
oh I see
yeah get that mobility NA for US done
OK i guess it can be part of the infantry limitations, but it should be counted as an armor in terms of combat causalties. So if tanks get a hit the defender can now select artillery, mech, or tank as combat loss.
ok then MECH built at IC with VC
yes the hit allocation is in
Id would limit para builds based on nation it should cost 5 for para
they are at 2/2 but attack on first round at 3
actually we didn’t like changing combat value and last made it 4 IPC attack 2 defend 2
but 5 IPC would solve the straight problem of INF already costing 4 IPC at certain VC
we could make it 2 VCPs per PARA built, instead of a table of limits
yea right. Para are specialized trained troops. they should be raised only in selected areas.
if 5 IPC then you won’t be able to build them at 1 IPC locations
I guess we can also make it paratroopers can only be built at capital VC

++++ ok great thats sound good. add that.

+++ yes that is how it should be something very specialized… during the war these troops were very important once they were lost ( germans in crete) they were impossible to replace…
only build in capical VC is perfect make it so Tekkyy
lets finish NA’s and recap what we got.
PARA (paratrooper)
at division level its actually called Airborne rather than Paratrooper right?
but then the short form becomes AIR (airbone), which is confusing
Yes, so keep PARA instead. Better to understand for everyone.
“AIR (airborne)” is a confusing short form.
How about “PARA (airborne)” ?
A bit like “ARM (tank)”.
Para
which question are you answering :|
you mean there is paratrooper division ?
or leave it at PARA (paratrooper)
or change it to PARA (airborne) ?
PARA (paratrooper)
keep it simple. plus no established abbreviation for them so we have to invent our own…
AP will remain the only case where people will have to memorize that it means troopship
ok no change
yeah AP is probably the least obvious USS hull classification
Oh i forgot…
the german long range bomber is only one bomber per game…
the other way is WAY too powerful.
I know it was decided before to not change the setup, and that is fine. But I would like to come up with extra setup’s for optional units, so that players will faster start using them. So that we can add MECH, PARA and CA’s… Could we agree to this?
Funny you asked…
in another forum i got the same question about cruisers…
Should i research this?
I can say that:
Japan 2 cruisers, 1 para, 1 mech
Italy 1 cruiser, 1 para, 1 mech
Germany 1 cruiser, 2 para, 3 mech
Soviets 1 para, 3 mech
UK 3 cruisers, 1 para, 1 mech
USA 1 cruiser, 1 para, 1 mech
this would be basically balanced and historical
now decide where they go.
plus look at other optional units.
Some will wonder about UK getting 3 cruisers… but look at the number they had compared to USA and youll agree
ok lets talk about it in the setup thread

so far only change is FTR (fighter) on CV (aircraft carrier) is NAV (naval fighter)
