The Oak Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 I "purchased" two platoons of Panthers, deleted all the tanks in each platoon (except for the Platoon leaders), then bought three more Panther platoons. I edited the leadership ratings for the two company command tanks to 2 and 2. Has anyone else tried this, and if so what were the results in a scenario?

Michael Emrys Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 Two things I don't understand: </font>Where did the company headquarters tanks come from if you were only purchasing platoons? </font>What were you trying to do? </font>Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank platoon HQ tanks can never command a unit outside of their platoon, infantry or vehicle. Oddly enough, i noticed a Inf Company HQ had command of an SU-76 that had lost its HQ. I didn't think it was possible but I guess that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Oak Posted September 30, 2002 Author Share Posted September 30, 2002 I was trying so somehow create a company command tank by including an exta tank platoon HQ, although I understand a platoon HQ can't control a tank from another platoon. I wanted to represent the presence of higher or exceptional armor leaders on the battlefield. Rather, I'll buy a single "elite" tank to represent a panzer ace or Hauptmann/Hauptsturmfuhrer.

Apache Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 But were all tank platoon/co. cdrs that good? Esp when they started to die a lot as time progressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offtaskagain Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 I would like to see companies of tanks available for purchase with company HQs. I know its not something that would be used in a normal QB, but I think it would be fun for user-made scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
