confused - Weasel - 09-09-2012 what is the difference between a fusiller and a jager in the German oob? RE: confused - Compass Rose - 09-09-2012 I don't own this series however, isn't jager short for Gebirgsjäger (mountain troops)? RE: confused - S.A.M - 09-09-2012 A Fusilier unit was light Infantry, a Jaeger (Hunter) unit also was light Infantry in WW2. In general, they were both armed with a higher percentage of smaller arms such as submachine guns etc. and/or are not equipped with as many heavier support weapons as regular Infantry Units. Nowadays, the designation of Fusilier has been removed from the German Bundeswehr. RE: confused - Weasel - 09-11-2012 so in game terms they are basically the same thing. thanks. One other thing - Weasel - 09-11-2012 Just doing a buy and I wanted to buy a FOO. So the FOO formation costs 136 total, but the FOO = 50 and the jeep = 36 totaling 86, where does the extra 50 points come from? I also noticed the value of units changes when purchased, for example a Sherman M4A3 was listed at 197 but when purchased it jumped to 2XX, I checked the unit quality modifiers and they were set to normal. RE: confused - raz_atoth - 09-11-2012 Those 50 pts are the price of the unit,so to speak. You'll spend 50 pts for each big unit (eg: battalion) you purchase.On the other hand,the price of the troops composing that unit will be lower than if purchased separately. So,for example,if you purchase a platoon of 5 shermans you'll spend 5x xxx points + 50 points. But the xxx points you spend for a sherman will be lower than for a Sherman purchased separately and attached to an infantry company. RE: confused - Weasel - 09-11-2012 Ahh, SP has something like that too, you always get a HQ (force commander) that costs 50pts no matter what. Thanks.
