Panzer Battles 2 - The Official Teaser Thread

[Xaver]

A little question... i notice now in home the wagon (last pic you post, germans have one and part of a second) and the Kangaroo... they work like a vehicle unit... soft halftrack for wagon and maybe more "tank" the kangaroo or they are a special vehicle with their own features??? i think they are allways in travel mode, no deployed status.

Thanks.

I thought we had mentioned these?

Essentially there are three kinds of vehicles for carrying units;
 

• Landing craft can take 40 men (or equivalent) each. These are the only units that can carry non foot infantry.
  
• Specialised Carriers, whether they be armoured, soft halftracks or trucks can carry 10 men for each vehicle. They carried unit must be foot infantry.
  
• Tanks etc, these are the same as the tanks in Kursk and can carry 5 men per vehicle with a lot of negatives.
  

We have essentially included dedicated carriers and trucks in a number of cases where formations were temporarily motorised. For example, 915 Infanterie Regt (352 Infanterie Division) was the Korps reserve and was temporarily motorised. In this case we have given it trucks to carry units around in. The same thing for Von der Heydtes 6th FJ Regt. This had enough motorisation for one of the three FJ battalions and the player gets to decide which unit to motorise.

No, i only remember your post in the first scen review talking about a system to "rescue" maroon units in water hexes but nothing about a "transport system" like you post.

I like the idea of carriers out of tanks (like in Kursk) because i suppose you can add them as you need like supply units no??? i refer you deploy in scen editor an infantry unit and you can place carrier units for them... i am wrong???

Well, interest for game is present but more diluted on these days with the ton of releases... and maybe Normandy is a little overexploited hehehe.

PD: i try attract more guys to the "dark side" but without a good bite... you never think in build a Death Star to place over it a "join to JT, we have big toys for you"???
