SS camouflage uniforms = +1 Stealth? - Bear - 10-15-2010

Curious to know what you guys think.
Should SS infantry with camouflage uniforms get +1 Stealth?

Thank you Padre. But compared to regular German, the SS cloth covered helmets and spatter scheme camouflage does suggest a benefit for Stealth, eh?

The High Command spent lots of marks and effort to come up with it. And later in the war improved the scheme.

When I design scenarios, only specialist units will get a full dose of Stealth i.e. Paratroops, Rangers, Recon/Scouts, marines and commandos. If any of these should happen to have some snow smocks or special camoflage then I'll consider a +2 Stealth. The there's those unique missions/battles that tell of extraordinary infiltration and/or coming up on enemy positions and overrunning them with little or no casualties.

But I'm not sure if the German Camouflage was successful enough for +1 Stealth. I was hoping the collective knowledge base of our club would shed light on this idea. I tend to think yes the camouflage should be enough of a benefit in rural environs. Obviously that SS scheme is not suited for urban or snow.

OK, Ratzki is tight with the Stealth.

Shall we look at the Camo Benefit as something less than all troops get +1 Stealth. I believe there should be a benefit, maybe not to all troops but at least a peppering of +1 Stealth for camo as long as the scenario isn't urban or snow. I'm thinking 66% of SS should have a +1 Stealth benefit. I'm testing the Das Reich scenario now and cargol and I are focused on this idea.
