Max number of units? - Thor - 07-15-2007 Whats the max number of units you can purchase in the WinSP games? Is it 350 for a beach assault and 500 for a standard game? 
RE: Max number of units? - shortreengage - 07-15-2007 I've not heard of that limit on beach landings but I do recall a 500 unit limit in one of the games. I used most of a VG Division in SPWW2 and ran int trouble. You are also limited to a # of formations IIRC. Check the Game Guide. I know that they increased something but not sure what or when.
RE: Max number of units? - shortreengage - 07-15-2007 There was a fight: Lebanon, Syria, PLO against Israel 2007. Two on two. To arabs has not sufficed units (500) and formations (200) as the army was in the basic structure from infantry. :) RE: Max number of units? - Thor - 07-15-2007 I found the 350 limit in the game manual, each unit has to allow for a barge as well for beach assaults, but i can't find any mention of a limit for standard games. But try as i might i can't purchase more than 500 units. 
RE: Max number of units? - shortreengage - 07-15-2007 Take more points and buy units yet will not reach limit. WinSPMBT 3.5 : 500 units. 200 formations. RE: Max number of units? - shortreengage - 07-15-2007 That is what I thought. Infantry formations take up a lot of slots. They usually have a lot of small specialist units in the company. AT/AA/MG/Mtr. I found that the 200 formation limit is the most restrictive. Every platoon or section is a formation. RE: Max number of units? - Greybeard - 07-15-2007 Yep, even a single tank purchase is a 'formation' and will use one of those precious formation slots.. Also, if you max out the unit count, the game won't have enough room for you to manually bail-out a crew.. and if enough crew-served units are lost, then the game reaches a point where a unit is destroyed no crew can be generated.. probably not bad for a KIA, but if a tank is routed and the crew decides to bail.. well there won't be a crew generated and the tank will remain abandonded with no chance of a crew jumping back in..
