Early war engineers

[Herr Straße Laufer]

It'd be nice to know what the original Talonsoft people were thinking when assigning hard attack values for engineers.

I could be wrong, but I don't think knocking down high walls is a function of hard attack values. I know it's limited to engineers.

The last post suggests the introduction of bazookas and panzerfausts didn't figure into the hard attack values of the engineer units. But for the regular infantry units, bazookas and panzerfausts appear to make a significant difference, as their hard attack values go up significantly as the war progresses.

There's now the idea of separate hard attack values for armored vehicles and pill boxes.

This has been a thought-provoking thread.

It would really be a matter of finding our how each army trained it's engineers? And, for what time period?
The above link covers German engineers training for attacking pillboxes.
I know there are other sites that discuss the engineers attacking armor. Once I get it I'll attach a link.

And, you would not use a flamethrower to take down a wall. Though bazookas and fausts were known to punch holes in them. :)
