Development ideas

[Jason Petho]

I had also mentioned to Jason that there needs to be a German (and perhaps U.S. and British), SMG unit - I had the German MP40 in mind at the time. The later MP44 (Sturmgewere) was even more powerful, an assault rifle actually, but Jason says these units are assumed to be mixed in with the regular platoons, so that explains that I guess. In the old Panzer Leader / Panzerblitz, these units are represented separately with their own platoons.

Hi John

Possibly a misunderstanding of what I meant.

Each of the various platoon types in the Germans (East Front) have various weapon stats, depending on how they are armed.

If you look at the weapon stats for the Grenadier 44 (regular, green and veteran) and the Volksgrenadier 44 (regular, green and veteran), you will see they are representative of the platoons being armed mostly with the MP-44. That being the case, you do have separate representative platoons as you did in PL&PB.

Hope that helps.
