Been away for a long time....recently reloaded and upgraded to latest patch.
Tried a quick test to see if battalion-sized StuG unit would work as an on-map combat unit....it seems to work now!
Could it be true?[&o]

It does? You used the editor for the test or what? Screenshot, please?

I think it was possible before to create such units. Just create new TOE with Combat Unit class and of Battalion size. The problem is you can't convert this unit to support unit and the other way back during the game.

In past versions, a battalion sized unit could be placed on the map, but would disappear into the ether when it came into contact with any enemy unit or even travelling into enemy territory.
But now it is not so....I used the 600th StuG Battalion as my test subject. Was able to advance into enemy territory, and even attacked a Soviet Tank Division (it was SCOUTED).
Unfortunately, an on-map battalion still costs 1 CP for the HQs....but that is a minor problem.
This is an awesome new feature![&o]

What about stacking? Does it count as 1 out of three allowed?

Yes, so as you see it's not really that good.

Made a quick and dirty mod allowing all German battalions with AFVs as playable units....love pushing StuGs around!
Believe it or not, back in the day made a mod making ALL support units playable...for both sides.[X(]
That took a lot of trickery and shenanagens.....now it's simple.....thanks![&o]
