Thank you Jason

The towing vehicles look great, but how would they work within the current engine? AFAIK we have only untouched/destroyed units, not damaged... or can it be somehow illustrated in game?

Hello Huib and 1925 Frank,

I hope you like this one two

Hello Borsook,

If you put a tank unit in front and it will be attacked, it may lose strength points (Get damage) and get disrupted. If you are low on action points you can not get away anymore and your unit may be doomd if the enemy shows up in unexpected numbers. To rescue your unit (or what is left of it) send in some armor reinforcemends for cover and a recovery vehicle. The recovery vehicle has very low load/unload costs and can "load" the armor unit and carry it out of the frontline.

Ok, sounds great, but this would have to be used in specific scenarios with a different scale, as normally each strength point represents 1 tank (so it can't be damaged/repaired). Still if one forgets about this, it would present interesting tactical possibilities. And they really do look great!

Phcas, those are wonderful.

Regarding the tow vehicles, the game already has a feature where wrecks can be cleared, but I don't remember how that is done.  I believe it was added with 1.03, and I think it currently involves only specialized engineer units.  Anyway, in the context of CS, those towing vehicles might be used for the wreck-removal units. 

Otherwise, I think what phcas is suggesting is using up all your tank platoon's action points firing and then using this towing vehicle to effectively add a few action points to the tank platoon so it can move back a hex or two to safety during your turn.  I don't think the game currently is structured to do that.

That is correct, it is not currently structured to do that.

But one could replace the present wreck removal units with these types of graphics for alternative eye candy!!

I really like the towed guns. Very nice indeed!

If the armor unit is loaded on the recovery vehicle it moves on on the actionpoints of the recovery vehicle (like mounted infantry and guns).
