T55 BTUs in "Duel for the Golan Heights-85-Valley B"

[Crossroads]

Thanks, Petri. Having never designed a scenario I was under the impression a designer would pick each unit to add to the map, rather than a package (if I'm understanding that correctly). So scenarios with T55 BTUs would play as intended, provided the player just remembers the F2 description is wrong and knows how to use them correctly. That's good, as I was concerned the scenarios would be flawed otherwise.

Pardon my ignorance.

Dave, it was a valid question, and there's no one way people approach scenario design. What I do I typically take a base formation from the OoB, move it to the scenario side of things, but then often add support elements, even individually as you noted. It all depends on the scenario.

So say for a Regt sized scenario, I might take the infantry regt I need, I then add the supporting elements, like perhaps an engineer coy, artillery bn, tank coy, what not, to have the battlegroup in place. 

I guess what I have personally learned from this BTU / KMT thing is a new appreciation how vital the engineering units are in modern warfare. Everything being mobile does not help, if one is stuck at the first natural or man-made obstacle. And with a mech formation, engineering units being mechanised as well ensures they remain mobile, in crossing streams, clearing obstacles and minefields, and I suppose preparing defensive positions as well.
