Notes to Alby regarding AUX units in Battle #2.

1) AUX unit AF2, SdKfz 231 8-Rad Armored Car, is listed as Fast Response Artillery and not Recon.  It needs to be edited and converted to Recon.  This is important for sighting purposes (and for movement purposes when playing with Command/Control ON).

2) AUX unit AG1, GE Mtrcycle Squad, is listed as Fast Response Artillery and not Recon.  It needs to be edited and converted to Recon.  This is important for sighting purposes (and for movement purposes when playing with Command/Control ON).

3) All AUX Opel Blitzes have weapons.  These all need to be edited so that their weapons are deleted (to make them consistent with ENH 2009).

EDIT: It occurs to me that the AUX unit designations I gave above only apply to my campaign since I have 31 formations in my core. However, you should be able to easily figure out which two units I'm talking about when you go to edit the battle.

I have seen this in some others I am editing now...but when I look them up in the editor, they have the correct codes, so I dont know if when the designer created these battles, they were part of some formation that had those codes or what.......

I think you are correct. I think that Marauder Mel took those units from an artillery formation, converted them to motorcycle and SdKfz 231 8-Rad and then attached them to two 2-unit recon sections (making them 3-unit recon sections, but now with two units that aren't Recon but listed as Fast Response Artillery). This means that those sections will have to be deleted. Then buy two 3-unit motorcycle platoons to replace the two 3-unit formations you deleted and convert the necessary units to SdKfz 222 and SdKfz 231 8-Rad. Since those original units had higher ratings (they were probably bought as elite Troop Quality 70 units back before Enhanced) you should manually change the Troop Quality of those replacement platoons to Troop Quality 80 (to represent elite Troop Quality 70) before buying them.

But at least that way all the units will be of high quality (which is what Marauder Mel intended) and all of them will be recon with no Fast Response Artillery units in them.

Sidebar: Marauder Mel (Bryan Melvin) -- I haven't seen that name mentioned in several years. He was the guy who brought me into the pre-Enhanced OOB team. In those days, Mike Wood wasn't available for guidance, so many well-intentioned but misguided OOB changes were made. The history of SPWaW's database changes is a story unto itself.
