The Competition & Teaser Thread

[jimcrowley]

Here is an example of what I am talking about. This is the 1st - 3rd & 4th Platoons of the 6th Company of the 4th PzGr Regiment. Though not shown on the front, the II Battalion designation is shown on the OB on the back. Highlighting the II Battalion organisation is also easy.

David, firstly thanks for the steady flow of information.

In regard to the above images I confess to being somewhat confused. I can't tie up the information on the fronts and backs with your description.

The second image is obviously a platoon (36 men) and I assume that the designation - 4.6/PzGr Regt 4 - relates to the fourth, Heavy Weapons, Platoon. This has an attack value of 12 and a range of 6.


I assumed that the first image was the full company (144 men; 4x36?) - if it is only platoons 1-3 how is that shown in the text information - 1.6/PzGr. Regt.4? If it is the full company, incorporating the HW platoon, why does it only have an attack value of 4 and a range of 11, less than the single platoon?

I really like the unit graphics and the fact that you can switch between them on the fly, although I also favour the Nato set.

However, I can't see an easy way, just looking at the counters, to distinguish between a platoon and a company. I know you can get that information from the side panel but the map is always the first port of call and getting a quick idea of which is which is extremely important IMO. Would it be possible to have text saying PzGr Co or PzGr Plt rather than just PzGr, for instance? Or have I missed something?
