Who isnt already combined besides Engineers,recon units and AA? These units would have rarely operated as a battalion.

I was thinking of the Armor Cav units. Plus there are a heck of a lot of engineer units to move to the front, lots of juicy targets. Even if they weren't normally used as full units it's a what if scenario right :)

Ya What If i didnt combine them ;)


All those engineer companys were pre assigned to who they would support, i have some docs somewhere that actually show each engineer company and what unit they would attach to while units get moving and head for their GDPs.

RE: Bolt out of the Blue 4.6.1 - P.Ako - 05-04-2010

One question, did you forget to include the Austrian Fliegerabwehrbataillon 3? It would be under the direct command of the Korpskommando II and was composed by:

e. Fliegerabwehrbataillon 3
1) Stabsbatterie
2) 1. Fliegerabwehrbatterie: 6 twin 35 mm ZFlAK 85, 4 20 mm FlAK 58 on AP712 Pinzgauer
3) 2. Fliegerabwehrbatterie: 6 twin 35 mm ZFlAK 85, 4 20 mm FlAK 58 on AP712 Pinzgauer
4) 3. Fliegerabwehrbatterie: 6 twin 35 mm ZFlAK 85, 4 20 mm FlAK 58 on AP712 Pinzgauer

I think that they are too many AA guns to be left aside aren't they?

No, most of the AAA is factored into the units themselves, thats why they have between a 2 and a 8 for AA value, if not everyone would be a 2 and the AAA and shoulder launched systems would be separate units, i believe its much simpler this way and streamlined.

That's why the Austrian Hq units have 5-1 AA attack isn't it?

If i remember correctly that would be a yes, the Austrians are overall lower than everyone else because they have no missiles.

Edit: It should be a 4-1 not a 5-1 for the higher level HQs and a 2-0 for the Landwehrregiment HQs.

RE: Bolt out of the Blue 4.6.1 - Aaron - 05-25-2010

Unless theres an additional game released that adds to the central front or a bigger map or the most likely candidate is that a new MC game is released and it has some new rules or changes and HPS updates the rest of the series (maybe this is why the series hasnt been updated) 4.7 will be the last version. Im shooting for a January 2011 final update, this gives plenty of time for playing to make sure nothing crops up and so far it hasnt and any minor oob changes, as of right now there are 8 minor changes like 1 of the US Arm Bn was renumbered, (it had changed in 89)
Nothing game changing, the biggest change is the Hungarian airborne unit and yes it wasnt a regular airborne unit it was a long range recon unit that was para qualified (jumped twice a year) it wasnt the 37th either, or the 24th,27th and all the other numbers youll find trying to look it up it was the 34.Felderíto Zászlóalj, and no it wasnt the 34.Bercsényi László Felderíto Zászlóalj, it didnt get that intill 91.

I see some ideas posted up on the what would you want to change thread for tiller con III and ive already voiced those in the past and a few others, we can only hope but keep on trying.

RE: Bolt out of the Blue 4.6.1 - GUIGUITZA - 05-26-2010

Hi just a question, can you add some WP reinforcements... the WP have really a little superiority vs NAto, and like a lot of units is fixed during first turn it's really difficil to destroy NAto Front. you can add something or all is present ?
