Should Medic Units be included in JTCS?

[Herr Straße Laufer]

I voted no, because his would effect the game.

For the record, and not to start an argument, but Ed, you've made this point several times and it's incorrect. The addition of any unit only affects the scenario that it's used in, not the game itself. EA affected the game engine and the way CS is played, new units do not. That argument is very true when discussing the merits and flaws of extreme assualt.

Dave, you are quite right. Existing scenarios would not be effected, like they were with the edition of EA to the combat formula. The game might not see the effect but future scenarios, with the use of medic units that have an effect on morale, would.
Thanks for the clarification of my thought.

Lastly, Matrix even introduced new armies, making more worlds for the creative designer to work in, more historic battles to research, create, and for us to get a taste for when trying out those new scenarios that take advantage of them. Should we ask Jason to reverse all that for v1.05? Get rid of all the new units and armies? Isn't it enough just to not play the scenarios that use them? I, myself, have yet to come across the non-submersible sub or the recon plane or the train. Designers don't like them, I guess. Tested and failed? Did it damage the game? I think, no, it did not.

Well well. It's come to this?

The only things I would ever ask for Jason to take out are the things they put in that adversely effect the game.
In my opinion EA is one. Variable Visibility is another. On map planes that cannot fly, ships that do not work as ships, or can be fixed to operate within the game scale, should all be removed.
And, as long as trains stay on the rails who cares? They do not effect morale, or did I miss something?

Did I ever say anything about taking out the new armies or added countries?
Please don't build straw men by putting words in my hand that I never typed.

And, to be precise, we were discussing the effect upon the game?
Others brought in the possible gameiness the units could bring with them. If they were added to the game?

The modders and out of the box thinkers can add whatever they want to their hearts content. Those mods I do not have/want to play?
I've not asked anyone to not add to their "thing".
Just not to the game as a whole.
