Light Regiment 8 gun battery - Thank you

Post by PIATAdam »

I've had the game for a week now, but only just realised you have reduced the number of guns in the british airborne light regiment batteries to 8. Which is how it should be. In AA:RDOA it was 12 guns, and I brought it up on the forums then, I seemed to be the only one who cared at the time. Thanks for making the change. The new game is great by the way.

Thank you.

We all care. [:'(]
Some extensive research and changes were put in place between the two games and we hope that the forces are now more correctly represent what was present. If you or anyone else has proof of any other “inconsistencies” Panther are always listening.
The only difficulty is that, as you will know, sources differ and contradict. And one of the biggest problems are with authors who quote other authors without doing original research so myths get widely propagated.

I remember, because I too had seen that reference; can’t remember where now. However, I can confirm that just like every other British field artillery regiment of the time, it was 3 batteries of 8 guns and two troops in each battery. In fact, at Arnhem, all the guns were landed successfully apart from one from C troop and one from F troop. [:)]
