TO&E comment

[A co]

First I'd like to congratulate BFC on a great-looking game!

Second, just want to note that the Poles should have the Stuart recce, and a quick search of the unit selector seems to show they don't. The 4th Armoured Reg't, for example, had eleven of them in the TO&E of their reconnaissance squadron in May 44.

Anyone else note any other such details?

Also, I have never seen any evidence of the Sherman I being used by the Poles in Italy, though they are given it in the game. (Perhaps someone else here has?) I'm not counting the Sherman IB and IC, which they did have.

Plus they should have the 'Sherman III early' as well as the 'plain' Sherman III, the latter being the only III they're given in the game.

OK now I will stop! It's a great game!

Thanks for the feedback A co.

Reviewing my notes, I think you are right about the Sherman I not being used. I had a list with the Sherman I listed, but now I think it was referring to the IB and IC.

For the next patch, I'll remove the Sherman I from the Polish and add the option of Stuart Recces in the recce troop.

EDIT: As an aside, doing a review of Quick Battle TO&E changes for the first patch, I've found and fixed the following problems: (so if you see these in-game, they will be fixed in the first patch)

- Removed the availability of the Canadian Armoured Infantry branch in QBs before Feb 44, as this resulted in only one formation being available for purchase.

- New British FO Section made for Infantry Branch. In the meantime a Specialist Team can be used.

- Changed Ranger Cannon Company Branch from Armored Infantry to Armored

- Added another MG Section to Commonwealth MG Platoon QB version, it accidently only had one HMG section.

- Made British HMG Battalion and Support Group available to Armoured Infantry Branch.

- Canadians, Polish, NZ Bofors Battery incorrectly had 3 troops instead of 2. Fixed.

I'm still checking through the Germans, I'm sure I'll find more tweaks to make.
