Changing the heavy weapons threshold?

Post by Jonathan Pollard »

Is there a way to change the point at which the addition of heavy weapons such as machineguns change an infantry or cavalry unit into a heavy weapons unit? I like to create infantry and cavalry divisions with lots of machine guns, but I'd like them to stay as infantry and cavalry instead of becoming heavy weapons after I add many machine guns.

Yes there is a way. You go into the Subformation Tyoe of the unit, and define it´s Symbol Weight to be different...

Thanks, it worked perfectly. For those who have trouble finding where to change the value like I did, it's in the "Graphics" section of the Property Sheets.

It's not out yet, I still have a lot of work to do on the scenario. It's based on the Blitzkrieg boardgame by Avalon Hill with the addition of the minor country armies in Blitzkrieg Module System by SPI.

I tried to attach a .zip save file of my unfinished scenario to this post but got the message "file is too large!" even though it is only 356 KB.

If you'd like to see what the map looks like, it's the same map that the "AH Blitzkrieg" scenario by spidey007 (Alan Guile) uses, with minor modifications. It can be found in the Scenario Bank.

EDIT: I've added a preview version of my scenario to the scenario bank in case you're really desperate to see it [X(].
