Hi Davide,
Just a quick comparison of the AFV strengths between Versions 1.06 and 1.07.1 for the FBB. Please note that I am not counting Flak support vehicles such as the Wirbelwind, Ostwinds, or the Sdkfz 7.

Version 1.06:
StuG Abteilung 200: 34 StuG III (G), and 9 StuH 42, for a total of 43 AFVs ...

Missing in the update list, but present as promised by Davide (a correction to Version 1.06):

FBB Panzer Bataillon, as a key unit within the Führer Begleit Brigade. The FBB becomes available as a Reinforcement card on the 1800 17 December turn. Thank you!

Cheers!

John O.

Hi Davide,

I hadn't checked in for a while. I see you posted some time back. Thank you for letting me know that Version 1.0.7.1 is available! I will be downloading it soon.

Best Regards,

John

Davide,

Thanks for the additional reply - I have enjoyed our discussion.

Please post again once you have had a chance to perform the updates on the FBB for the Wacht am Rhein and Plan Martin scenarios. Once that update is on Steam, I plan to do the beta update.

Thanks again.

Cheers,

John

Hi Maxim –
A basic question for you: When one updates the game to the latest (now 1.07 beta) version, what happens to existing saved games that were played and stored in the previous (1.06) version? Does the map update, and units update, or are they unchanged? I suspect there is no change but would ...

Hi Davide,

Great discussion and sources, thank you. It turns out that the Remer reference is online in the US 7th Armored Division Document Repository at:

https://www.7tharmddiv.org/docrep/M-FBB-B592-B838.doc

I am going to attempt to re-paste the pages you referenced from the online Word ...

Thanks, Davide, that is good news - I'm glad I didn't waste your time. I look forward to Version 1.07!

Some discussion on the FBB, and XLVII Panzer Korps , follows if you are interested:

I do find it interesting that you state that the FBB Panzer Bataillon was a mixed Mark IV/StuG unit - all ...

Hi Davide. Happy New Year 2024! I hope all is well with you.

In my somewhat limited spare time, I've been playing the Wacht am Rhein scenario against the AI opponent, and have now reached the 1800 turn of 17 December, at which time a card appears for the Führer Begleit Brigade (FBB). Game Version 1 ...

Hi Davide. Thanks for this tip - I used it immediately and changed the regimental unit number to 989, but forgot to post back to you.

You gave me a smile mentioning the 56K modem and downloading the old SSG Ardennes Offensive game. I bought the game the old fashioned way in 1999 with a box and CD ...

Hi Davide,

That all sounds great - thanks for the response. I am greatly enjoying the game and have noted no other issues so far.

It turns out that the Simple Editor can easily correct the 289/989 error very easily before starting a new game - I didn't realize that until after I posted ...

I bought your Ardennes Offensive (Decisive Campaigns) game recently on Steam (10 December). I have been waiting for a battalion level game for the Ardennes for a very long time. Your new game, which looks and plays great, is everything I hoped and more. FYI, I am a 'veteran' of the old regimental ...
