Slot assignments

Close Combat: Panthers in the Fog is the first new release (not a re-make of a previous games) in years in the critically acclaimed Close Combat series. It details the desperate German counter-attack at Mortain, the last chance of the Wehrmacht to stave off defeat in Normandy. Can you match the tenacity of the American defenders of Hill 314? Or can you succeed where the Panzers failed, driving through to the sea and changing history? Improved 32-bit graphics and the ability to control more squads than ever bring the Close Combat engine to a new level.

Slot assignments

Post by davidss »

hi,
an idea regarding the Battle Group system:

Add another option field in the bgroups.txt that allows each Team Type slot for each Battle Group to be assigned a number. The number assigned would designate a specific Team type or types to each slot in the Active Roster. Therefore, each slot could only be filled with Team types that are designated by the slot assignment number.
Each Battle Group's Active Roster could be designed to represent Armor, Mechanized, Infantry, Static, or an Ad Hoc formation.
This along with Company sized Force Pools and a higher maximum number of times to Reenforce ... may increase strategic options and battlefield realism.

note: each slot would still be assigned a default Team type ... as is presently done.

Attached is an example reference table for the slot assignments

or 17 ... all types

Hi David,
 
Thanks for your feedback. I replied to your post on this over in the TLD forums -- as I said there, the current system in TLD does have a sort of group / priority system for substituting different types of teams for each other.  And finer control over this is something we'll keep in mind for future versions.
