skelley Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 1. How do I get Rhinos? I have a company of shermans and I want 1 sherman in each platoon to be a Rhino. 2. Why is it not possible to have a Med Panzer battalion with a company of Panthers. I thought The TO&E for a medium battalion included a company of Panthers. Maybe I am thinking of a Regiment having a battalion of Panthers. Does anybody know if this is correct and if there is a way around it other than have 2 separate battalions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 1. How do I get Rhinos? I have a company of shermans and I want 1 sherman in each platoon to be a Rhino. Set the date to sometime in July. Click on the unit after purchase and look at options at the bottom. 2. Why is it not possible to have a Med Panzer battalion with a company of Panthers.

MikeyD Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I can answer #1 at least. Rhinos are date sensitive. They're in the game in July, in time for the Cobra breakout. Question #2. Dang, you're right! I just checked, no mixing & matching PzIV/Panthers within a single Battalion. Only Steve knows that answer. You can of course fudge things and import a Panther battion and strip out all but the 1 company you want. Or import individual Panther's into you PzIV battalion, though you probably wouldn't like the resulting platoon command structure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Oh, within the same battalion...I misread that. The official TO&E for a "mixed" battalion was approved 1 November, 1944. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelley Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 Thanks fellas. Makes sense with the Rhinos. Guess it took a little while to figure a way to deal with the hedgerows. I tried looking for the TO&E of the Panzer Battalions with no luck. I just don't want to have a battalion of infantry, company of PzIVHs and a Platoon from another Battalion of Panthers. Not sure how that affects C2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
