Rule 4.4 1/2

Order of Battle for June 1944 - There dont seem to be any Ost Battalions in the OOB ( typical type 44 Divisions contain 1 ) Which kind of Bums me but the key thing is that the 3 Regiment 2 battalion Divisions each have 8 Line companies and a 13th and 14th Company . Shouldnt that be 9th and 10th Companies ?

West Front or East Front?

east front - and the artillery bug we talked about isnt fixed - artillery arrives piecemeal and without transport - the new deployments rock though - GJ !

There are Ost Battalions....under Battalions.[8D]
Just tack one on to your division.

And that is weird about 13 and 14 Cos.
But that's the way Zetterling lists them too.....maybe 9-12 Company are reserved for perhaps a future battalion?

EDIT: sorry, thought you were talking about West Front.

Not sure what to do about the artillery and transport. In the cases when I was playing DCG's, both the artillery and transport was on the map (although scattered, as per usual) or they came together as reinforcements, but not loaded. Hopefully 1.04 will do something to correct this to be a more permanent feature.

There are Ost Battalions available for the later Infantry units in the DCG's. (If I recall correctly)

They are also Ost Battalions available under the battalion section for scenario design. They are easily added to the unit you require.

The infantry units (and SS) have not been working on very much for 1.03, they will be worked on for 1.04. The efforts were focused on Motorized and Panzer units for 1.03 East Front Germans.

its all good Jason - half the fun is picking on you =).. youve done well

east front - graphic for panzerbuschse 39 in 2d normal is a regular infantry not AT graphic. little confusing

Heres a neat one - Loaded passenger ( eastfront ) Engineer platoon Mounted on PZ IV. caught by opfire enemy fires twice and combat report says pz IV loses 1 step 2 times. no wrecks present  - engineer took the casualties.
 
Basically no Passenger gets 1 point loss etc...

13 and 14 Companies are the Regimental HW Companies and is the correct designation even for the 1944 2 Battalion Regiments.

my 2.0 version of the campaign series has problems with scenario's some WF saying 0 turns and some east front saying error reading scenario. Any ideas Thanks John
