IMHO the "Change Model Function" is too surreal and powerful. A player can instantly change an infantry division to a Panzer Division at the click of the button; and back again to the original unit or even a different model later on in the same turn. Further, the new unit retains all of the existing experience, readiness, morale, etc., of the "mother unit" including the AP's. While this may have been a well intended idea, the effect on game play is way too powerful and fantasy.

An infantry division does not have enough range to complete an encirclement or attack a city? No problem, use the Change Model Function to instantly convert it to a fully Motorized Division or Panzer Division. At the end of the move want to assault the city with infantry rather than Panzer? Use the Change Model Function to change the division back to the original infantry division - and this all in the same turn.

As for me, I am going to forget that this function exists and have asked my PBEM partner to do the same.

Vic,

I see that the icon changes but the unit details do not reflect the new OOB. However, the combat value instantly changes - how does this affect combat calculations?

Thanks

Mark

Part of the issue is the camouflage effect; the opponent sees a nomitive armored division and may think it is even if it has the oob of an infantry division.
