RE: Early war engineers
As I recall,
Only the American, British and German engineer units have a hard attack factor that is greater than 1 or 2, no matter what the time period. Now I do seem to remember that the PB#1 disk had Russian assault engineers but I do not recall what their hard attack strength was.
As an aside a backpack mounted flamethrower would not increase an engineers hard attack strength as the range is too short to be factored at 1 hex. It does show up in the higer assault factor.
I think the better question may be is why does the German engineer 30 platoon have a hard attack factor of 18 at 1 hex for the start of the war through the end of the war?
Thanx!
