Hi von Egen

The 3rd Panzer was part of the force that drove into central Belgium to distract the Allied forces, ending up in the fighting around Gembloux. The 9th Pz was part of the force that drove into the Netherlands.

And to complete what Rick is saying, the 9th Division after the surrender of Holland was sent south and participated with the others divisions to the fight against France and Great Britain.

Well I looked at the reinforcement schedule for the campaign, and 3rd Panzer has 0% likelyhood of showing up. What don't I understand? von ege :hissy:

I am at work so I can't confirm absolutely, but I believe the first unit in the list for 3rd Pz, or maybe it is a different formation at the same time but I doubt it, has a liklihood of something other than 0, and per the help file all following units in the list with 0% and no breaks in time will arrive whenever the first unit checked gets selected to arrive. In other words, basically the first unit gets checked and once it passes the check all the other units of the formation arrive with it, so that the percentage can be less than 100% but the entire formation will arrive at once, rather than in separate pieces as each individual group passes the check.

That 1940 scenario in Market Garden features the 9th Panzer. Look at the units; the HQ is the 14th Panzer Division HQ. ????!

I thought the 14th Panzer Div was raised in August, 1940, by reorganization of the 4th Infantry Div.
