RE: Minefields

Something that lets me increase the max entrenchment values possible on a hex (like you can only have 50 max entrenchment on a plains hex) would be nice - trenchlines, barbed wire, bunkers, you know, all those nice things

RE: Add infantry fighting vehicle model

<t> The APCs in the game basically need the option to mount Quad MG style weaponry because we don't have a dedicated autocannon tier (though I suspect that'd change once/if we get flying units), or also mount the Heavy MGs that the light Walkers are supposed to have, as a dedicated anti-Soft weapon ...

Even with diesel, I assume that our trucks get refueled every once in a while, probably at stations along the way. There is no reason why the game shouldn't assume that such stations exist along the way to keep electric trucks running in the ...

RE: Eliminate or modify the Assault Infantry Formation

<t> for that matter, I'd like an actual list of existing OOBs in the manual - literally just a breakdown of trooptypes per oob. (Light Infantry being 100% infantry, Grenadier being 80% infantry, 10% RPG, 10% Machinegun, that sort of deal)<br/>

RE: do you guys think there are to many decisions per turn?

quite the opposite. I wish there were *more* decisions to actually be able to shift my preferred government profiles some (it is borderline impossible to raise Government)

these decisions give the world some life beyond the slow countdown towards world domination
