Special Notes:
We need to combine all the currently available special abilities of all the currently available engineer units into one combat engineer unit. If we examine history throughout the Industrial Age, all Combat Engineers did these tasks. From being able to construct inproved positions, to digging trench systems. From clearing and placing minefields, to clearing and placing obstacles. All the way up to building bridges (of all types), to improving tracks and roads. Oh yes, let us not forget building bunkers.
 
Thank You (for all the hard work and effort)

Yes, I do agree.

At the moment, it is a limitation of the game code.

Hopefully that will change in the future.

Just wondering if there are any plans to take all the OOB for US troops and put them into Rising Sun. I dont think that would take much work?

Eventually, yes, that is the plan. It is a bit more work than you think though, as if there are duplicate non matching platoon codes from RS US OOB to WF US OOB, then there will have to adjustments to scenarios/campaigns.

Seperate country code for the Waffen SS so these units have a 3D base different than Wehrmacht. Perhaps the twin bolts on a black of dark gray base. 
 
Thanks

In lieu of the two requests above, when you get to RS and the USA, separate icons and bases for the USMC.

I thought that has already been done. I believe someone on this message board posted the files for the Marines bases but I can't remember who? I'll try do some more research and get back to you...

Jason / Matrix,
 
   Personally, anything beyond v1.04 is pure icing on the cake !  [&o]
Keep it alive and well (...that's what we gamers love!).

Special Notes: The IJA in RS and the Brits in WF have Snipers and ATRs. I have read that Marines were equipted with Brit Boys ATRs and had sharpshooters or snipers. Though not many tanks were encountered, the ATRs were used against arty and other targets.

USMC Raider platoon, P10220, platoon.oob points to graphic P10204, which is Ranger platoon.

WF Allied Albania icons2d32.bmp has the wrong colour magenta. Opened in MS Paint, used default magenta with eyedropper, flood fill, fixed.

Special Notes: Unloading/Loading cost 100.... this was a massive weapon that broke down into 10 tractor loads so any movement should be very slow. Wikipedia has a good article, JAPAN 240mm Howitzer will find it. Pix would not load...too big so I have sent to you Jason by email.
