A little question, in game germans have flammpanzers??? and if they have them they work as in PzC or there is something new in engine for them???

Thanks.

Hi Xaver,

Yes there are Flammpanzers!

There are actually a number of flame weapons for both sides. They work the same way as PzC's in that they have enhanced assault values. With a 250 metre hex it is hard to justify the flame weaponry having a range higher than zero.

In the image below you can see a German PzKw III Flammpanzer, a motorcycle battalion flame platoon (yes the Soviets actually had these!) and a Static Flame Platoon. The assault values are high to reflect the flame armament.

The Static Flame units are small but very nasty. They are point defence units and essentially were teams that remotely controlled 'flame mines' These were static, heavily camouflaged flame throwers that were built into a defensive position. In game these units can not move and will not reveal themselves unless they are recon spotted or the hex they are in is assaulted. Though small at 20 men, assaulting one of these units before its disrupted will almost certainly guarantee casualties.
