Presumably this could be sorted in the future with a new 'Split-Squad' option.....Something like 'Command' maybe?

Are you sure it was that simple? Seems that only one squad leader was also a vehicle commander, the other two vehicles being commanded by the Platoon Leader and the Deputy Platoon Leader (Senior Sergeant).

Sgt.Squarehead Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Maybe it would be a better idea elminate the platoon HQ (and reduce one squad by one man), give each BMP a three man crew, and designate one BMP (& its crew) as the platoon leader? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you won’t have a dismounted platoon per doctrine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holien Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 2021 is starting to look good, kudos to the whole team and I am looking forward to the new title. Watching the AAR with interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps some kind of abstraction like was done for the Bradley (extra passengers allowance), could be made. My current CMx2 doctrine is to mount 'left over' teams in BMPs, which isn't really ideal / 'conform doctrine vision' either I'd say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You purchase will also give you access to the Steam version of the game. I bought the game in your store, do you have to give money to Steam if I choose to grab a Steam key? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I've never been excited about waiting to place a pre-order before, can't wait for this month to end. PS - @Battlefront.com really should point their financial managers towards these pages, it looks like there might be something of a sales bonanza ahead! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff-Ludumpress Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Wow, big secret with lots of room for expansions. Isn't it funny how times change, see Steve's reply circa Dec.2006 when asked why BF not doing a '1980's Fulda gap' title. "The other reason is that Charles and I don't have much interest in alternate history. A big clash between NATO and the Warsaw Pact didn't happen, obviously. Therefore our interest in toiling away, day after day for months, is just not there. And if Charles and I aren't psyched to do it, then it's dead right there. We've got enough stuff to last us the next 20 years that we're very excited to do, so why would we want to delay any of that for sokmething we're not interested in doing and will be a commercial flop? We might be crazy, but we ain't stupid. Steve"  Edited February 18, 2021 by Geoff-Ludumpress 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 But that was written 15 years ago. So they were only 5 years away from running out of stuff to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it’s been a few years since then, and things change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba883XL Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 genuine question here, if we pre order, i saw something about a steam key being sent etc, what if we'd prefer not to have steam key? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
