The First Blitzkrieg

[Ricky B]

Hello Tortue,

I don't have the game in front of me, so I can't check things out right now. I believe you are saying that the DLM divisions should be considered as armored rather than mechanized, right? I agree that they did have a very balanced mix of forces in them, probably more equivalent to the panzer divisons of 1941-1945 period than a mechanized division, although in 1940 the panzers were fairly heavy in tank strength also.

Anyway, in understanding your point on this, I am not sure it has an impact on combat, being mechanized versus armored. I can't think of any current rule that would cause a different effect from this anyway, as the units have their various ratings including armor, independent of type. For mech and armored units, I think the only impact is on the icons for it - but I may be wrong there.

Regards
Rick
