Why do officers only have pistols in Demo

Hey I'm back with all my questions

This time I used the search and found nothing. The search engine stinks its just puts me into a daze. Any way I have watched enough history channel and seen enough movies as well as my grandfather being a veteran of WWII and officers pack more firepower than a pistol. Any thoughts or reason why CM officers only have pistols???

Hopefully only Demo has this and full version has them with a little more firepower

You certainly are the curious one, aren't you?

In the Full Version, the HQ Unit itself packs a variety of small arms (carbines, SMG's, rifles) depending on the force mix --- but there is always one man in the bunch with 'just' a pistol, yes.

You can assume that's the Head Honcho if ya like --- personally, I like to think it's the radio-man.

Just post a thread here asking for a PBEM, or go to one such and email the person asking for a game. There are a couple of sites for matching folks up, but I'm not aware of their URLs because I get my games within the Peng Challenge thread. I don't think you should go there quite yet, though. smile.gif

Are you guys as good as you all brag or just trying to scare newbies off. Not a joke am serious. I have battled others in other sites on other games and it all sounds the same bunch of braggers. Where are these stats I read about I would like a little proof to believe. And I think all of you will find I am a very quick learner.

Actually, a couple of the people there are very good, others are only adequate, and some are probably outright bad. All of the 'bragging' is compeltely tongue in cheek. This aspect of irony and the rather 'insider' kidding and abuse on the thread is why I thought you might not want to go there yet, not any comment on your playing ability. While all are welcome, it is a thread that takes a little adjustment... smile.gif

Do they?

At least in the Gold demo the battalion HQ packs more firepower than a VG squad (an assortement of pistols, SMGs, ARs, rifles and LMGs). It's just that the graphically presented figure have only a gun, to make it easier to recognise as an HQ amongst other units.

IMO it's the battalion, and perhaps also company, HQs that have too much firepower.

Their firepower should come from a separate security/bodyguard detachment.

Oh, and don't forget all the other rear are units like chefs, medics, clerks, etc. that fought so bravely in the Bulge...

Cheers

Hey, Shatter, I found one of those URL's again. This site, Rugged Defense: Combat Mission page, has a 'find PBEM Opponents' section:
