Glenn Saunders Wrote:1) Which editions have DD other than Normandy?
To be honest, I don't know. But it's quite possible that the flag in the OoB was carried forward into MG44 and B44, and any prospective NWE and Italy modules.
Incidentally, from the N44 patch release notes:
Quote:Changes for Normandy '44 1.01
- Fix for bug that prevented Amphibious units from crossing Rivers and Canals.
Were there
any other PzC modules out when N44 went to ver 1.01?

I'm pretty sure they don't - most N44 scens just dump them directly onto the beaches at 0600, like all the other Allied units.
Quote:But if they don't and if the flag is on by default than I agree it should probably be off. I do agree with you that DD tanks shouldn't have amphibious ability once they come ashore. That said I don't think anyone has ever sent me a file where this flag came into play. If you have an example BTE or something where someone has used this or where the AI has used the ability to take advance of the human (or the other way around) than I'd love to see the file.
I'm sure I don't have a file. It's probably the kind of thing that would be quite easy to overlook if it were to occur, and most human players probably wouldn't even think to try it. Also, since no one has mentioned it, I guess it ain't a big deal :)

I guess I never noticed it before but ... as soon as the DD tanks landed this clumsy equipment was removed and they were not special river crossing tanks able to say, cross the Orne later on.
Exactly, but that seems to have been the intent of the 1.01 patch :)
