British Infantry

Fans of the old Panzer General series rejoice for the release of Panzer Corps. Following in the footsteps of the popular SSI masterpiece and sharing with the General series the same level of engagement and strategic depth, Panzer Corps will keep an unmistakable "PG feeling" whilst improving and refining the gameplay and balance. Panzer Corps will feature 26 scenarios on 21 unique maps, covering most major battles of the European Theatre of World War II and including a few hypothetical 'what if' scenarios based on your actions. Now expanded with a full-war mega-campaign and the Afrika Corps and Allied Corps releases!

British Infantry

Post by elmo3 »

I have a question about British infantry. The Engineers cost more than the HW Inf unit yet their initiative and air defense are lower and all other stats are equal. So why would you ever build Engineers when HW Inf units are cheaper and have better stats?

Edit - I know Engineers are immune to rugged defense but that happens so infrequently it hardly seems worth the extra prestige.

Attack a heavily entrenched enemy, and you'll see where the extra prestiege goes [:)]

I don't see that in the manual. Was that added after launch or am I just missing it?
