New Unit Update

[Herr Straße Laufer]

Most of the "mods" adding on map airplanes is just taking a tank, changing the icon to an airplane, and then throwing them out on the map.
They will operate as a tank. I think in DG/VN you are not allowed to assault the copters or use them to assault?

Simply out of scale and not good for the game, unless they can be scaled in with vertical ability. Otherwise we will be stuck with a larger set of house rules and claims of cheating, when an airplane does something that it shouldn't? Or, better still does something that the "other player" thinks is not right.

I've seen it with the on map scout aircraft and the ground attack ones. They need to dodge and weave through terrain, can't enter an enemy hex, and can be surrounded by ground troops.
"Oops! My trucks just occupied the hexes around your plane until I could get my anti aircraft guns near it, or a combat unit to assault it." More "realism" that I can do without.
