MC: Lack of WP amphibious capability = NATO bias?

[HirooOnoda]

Which game specifically? I don't believe the tanks have, or should have, amphib for any nation, and agree with that as the prep time was extensive and didn't necessarily work as well as some said, as best I can tell. For example, it took a very level entry and exit point for tanks to enter and leave the water, and a fairly low current speed. I think that is the reason given originally, at least from memory.

I have books from back in the 80s, backed by what we learned in the Marines, that in training exercises, the Soviets would lay concrete across river bottoms to improve the ability of tanks to cross rivers without being lost - doesn't mean it was true but I have heard that from more than one source.

But in DF, at least, most or all the WP infantry is amphibious.

Works for me overall, anyway.

Hi Rick,

I'm sure that if WP engineer unit was in the same hex it could be prepared for said fording by the tanks.

Take care!
