Re: Marder carrying capacity


Hi,

Apologies for resurrecting this thread, but I think there is the same OOB issue for the "An Autobahn Too Far" scenario. 4 Company of PzGdr BN 302 has three platoons with 3x M113/3x Mech Inf/3x ATGM team per platoon. The other two companies seem to be correct with 3x Marder/2x Mech Inf/1x ATGM ...

Re: Artillery, Tradeoffs and Decision Making In FCSS

Fully agree with byzantine1990 here, the game doesn't leave much space for interesting manouvre decisions.

RE: Any Updates On Southern Storm?

I would like to remember Assault: tactical Combat in Europe. What a fantastic game. You rolled for "Force Level" before a scenario and the level determined your force composition.

RE: Will WG Company Numbering be fixed in FPC:SS?

Sure, posted this original CPX ORBAT from 1989 a while back. https://imgur.com/gallery/ScYiI85

You can see, that the numbering starts at 2 and there is no 1st Panzerkompanie, since that is the H&S Company.

It is a minor issue that makes my OOB-OCD tingle. There is no 1st Manoeuvre unit in a WG Battalion. The 1st COmpany ...

Good news,
