What are your favorite units?

[Larry Reese]

Hmmm.... units I like to have in various situations...

Russian: T-34 (early on, when they rule the field; and late war, when sheer mass can be fun as hell, plus superior mobility - particiularly in poor weather and terrain I think the T-34's mobility is underrated in the game). SMG units in urban terrain. Rocket artillery. SU/ISU-152 (bring on the bunkers, and, run little infantry man, run) lol, now that I think about it, I think the best compliment I ever recieved on here was from an opponent who said my T-34s "ran around like packs of murderous wolves" or something to that effect. good for a chuckle.

German: MGs, without a doubt. Just MURDEROUS. Infantry armed with man portable anti-tank weapons. Engineers.

Haven't played as much as the western allies or the japanese, so I can't really speak to them. The eastern front is more my bag. It's where the war was decided.

Units I'd like to see: a what if unit - if Soviet T-60, T-70 production had been redirected to an all-track APC on that chassis. Long LONG ago, I think I forwarded a full description (because it appeared post-war) and photos to Jason, but then we can't have everything we wish for. I'd also like to see Soviet infantry armed with captured panzerfaust/shreck. There were TONS. Not every platoon would have them, but a few you could scatter around.

Utilities I'd like to see: something to make it easier to add your own photos to officers :-)

EDIT: on the topic of Idi Amin Dada - what lunacy. Remember when he had three Ugandan soldiers locked in a truck cab for a week to prove they could make a space flight to the moon? A country on crack.
