Fellow Grognards:

In laying out my new scenario in the Carpathian mountains I noticed that a captured German Panther tank for the Russians cannot cross a medium bridge while the German version of the Panther can.  So it's a glitch but it's a bitch of a glitch and I for one love to bitch.

I was wondering what the Soviets could do to a Panther to make it become a heavy tank?
Any rational explanation out there?
Or is it just a mistake/glitch?

Regards,

Dan

Russian soldiers were heavier. They drank and ate more than their German counterparts?

For whatever reason the Russian one is 43 tons vice 38 tons in the German oob, an oversight. Also, the flag in the movement field is the biggest culprit, prohibiting it from crossing light or medium bridges! It has a 97 in the field, it should be 33 like the rest.

Man you guys had me rolling on the floor a couple times...I'd say gold goes to Scud...for worst (best) pun...
Hopefully Jason is seeing these.
These forum topics all address issues he can help us correct in the next revision.
I know he's aware of the low stone wall issue with engineers and he intends to fix that.
