Bunkers?

[TrixxTango]

I am fairly new to the game, and last night I started fooling around with the create scenario feature. In the manual it describes creating "pillboxes" and "bunkers". I figured that a bunker might be a larger version of a pillbox, (just like you have both large and small houses), but all I could find under the fortification purchase option were variants of pillboxes. Am I looking in the wrong place, or does "pillboxes" and "bunkers" mean the same thing?

Also, it would be nice for CM2 if you could have your forces move in/out of fortifications the same way as houses and vehicles in CM.

IIRC, Pillboxes are concrete structures, and will have either a MG or AT gun located within. Bunkers are wooden structures are have only MGs.

We to your frist question about bunkers they are only abole to use them for Germans and only the regular ary(Heer) and SS can use them. And they are not that big just little concret or wooden stuchers.No Pillboxs and bunkers are not the same thing bunkers are wooden and Pillboxes are concret.

In CM I would guess that the terms Bunker and Pillbox are used interchangeably. In ASL a Bunker is basically a pillbox that is incorporated into a trench network, while a pillbox is not. A pillbox would be a stand alone fortification.
