Army Lists?

Sequel to its genre-busting predecessor, Battle Academy 2 moves the action east – to the bloodied plains of Mother Russia. When a gritty new look, great new features, and random mission generation meet battle-proven gameplay you can be sure of a strategy classic!

Experience the brutal campaign from both sides as you play across 4 campaigns – as partisan, Tiger, T-34 and dozens of other accurately modeled units. See how the harsh weather of the steppes changed the course of the war.

And after following the fortunes of the two sides you can then experience limitless battles with the brand new random skirmish feature. Customise your mission with the myriad settings before entering a unique and surprising battle every time.

Add in the best-in-class Slitherine PBEM++ multiplayer system, redesigned editor, custom scripting, and Cooperative multiplayer to create a new strategy masterpiece.

Army Lists?

Post by Uncle_Joe »

I'm playing the Skirmish battles using the option to purchase 'All' for the forces and Random army lists.

But the choices I get are very odd. For example, In a Small/Small battle I generated (June 43 I cannot buy ANY regular infantry?
I can buy 2 Waffen SS, some Flamethrowers and MGs and SEVEN(!) Snipers?

How is that force composition? I have almost 1000 points to spend but I can't put together any resembling an infantry formation at all.

Is there some (simple) way to edit the army lists or get more relaxed pick restrictions? I appreciate that it can be fun to not always be able to cherry-pick what you want but not even having enough basic infantry kind of force the game into a tank-orgy that I don't really have a lot of interest in.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks.

If you are using army lists there will be realistic force composition. If not you'll have a random selection with different types of units being more common and in greater numbers.

The army lists are just set in a text file so very easily modable.
