GreasyPig Posted August 16, 2000 Share Posted August 16, 2000 Howdy boys, I gots a question. Can someone tell me why you can't select storm-troopers by the platoon? As far as I can tell you can only get them by company. I sure like their load-outs and would happily pay the extra bucks for em. Its just that if you have to buy them by the company it would exclude them from the lower point limited games.

Mannheim Tanker Posted August 16, 2000 Share Posted August 16, 2000 Because Lord Vader won't allow it - Ha! Seriously, I've wondered this myself, but couldn't find the answer. My guess is that they weren't historically deployed in small units (smaller than company size), since you probably wouldn't assault an objective with anything smaller than a company. Any Grog's care to confirm or dispute this hypothesis? Go on, flame my day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Johnson-<THC>- Posted August 16, 2000 Share Posted August 16, 2000 I for one I'm very disipointed. Realistic or not, I want some good assualt troops that don't cost what like 2470 for a kompany. I still have mountain and Paratroops so its not so bad.

KiwiJoe Posted August 16, 2000 Share Posted August 16, 2000 The strum company was designed as a kick-ass assault force. Thats why they have 13 man squads (they are going to take a beating in their line of work). You typically wouldnt deploy these forces in single platoons, thus a company is the smallest size you can purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that matter, I doubt ANY of these units were ever deployed at the platoon level, with the exception of armor. Jeff Heidman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreasyPig Posted August 16, 2000 Author Share Posted August 16, 2000 Jeff, Thanks, thats EXACTLY my point. I'm not trying to raise hell over this issue. I'm just curious as to why the option was omitted. AND... if there isn't a real reason then a request to have the option in a further patch or installment. Thanks for the responses.
