RE: US ATG/105mm regimental units

<t> Came across this myself - tried same as you - but also you can sub divide the AT Guns out into a separate unit - better then leaving them stuck with the ART.<br/>
<br/>
So they can either go into the line as a critical point or act as a reserve and distribute the gins when the inf units need ...

If they had given you only ten of it and then pumped you for more money for the rest of it you might have had a point. Releasing further scenarios as extra DLC<br/>

Well no - the reasonable solution is for matrix to offer a digital only option. Same price just the option to decline a physical copy. Seriously Matrix - WTF is the problem with that ?
