Unit Types & Capabilities Question

Post by kaybayray »

Please forgive me if this has been addressed somewhere else, I must have missed it. My question is what all types of units are available?

Not being familiar with this game I am curious, can you create your own unit types? For example, is it possible to have complete Naval forces which include Carriers and aircraft? Can you build and employ strategic bombing forces? Can you build shore defenses, such as bunkers or bunkers complexes for example? What kind of bases are there in the engine?

I am asking these questions because I am trying to get a view on what the possible scope of scenarios or campaigns that can be built with this game are. If I were interested in building a campaign or scenario which encompassed large areas of the Pacific war or ETO for example could that be done with this? Or, should I be looking at another platform for that?

Thank in advance for your responses.

yes you will be able to create any subformation you want with the editor.
and you will be able to set how well it will do battle against any other group of subformation you define.
