Hi, I'm probably not a familiar face to people here, as I have just registered on this forum. I purchased the JTCS games a couple of years ago, and I've been playing them off and on since then. I did notice a few issues about American infantry when playing, though. First, I noticed that there are now separate units for early war and late war infantry (Rifle Platoon 42 and Rifle Platoon 44). However, the stock late-war scenarios still use the '42 rifle platoons, which have much weaker anti-tank capabilities than their 44 counterparts. Is there any way of fixing this, other than by manually editing each and every post-1944 scenario with American infantry in it? (something that seems less than desirable to me...) This same problem applies to American paratroopers. In the Screaming Eagles LCG, I noticed that throughout the campaign, your core units have the 1942-era paratroopers, which have no anti-tank capability worth mentioning. This is not the same as in the pre-Matrix version of CS, where these units did have hard attack capabilities. I don't even want to think about how badly the Battle of the Bulge scenarios would go with these units.... Lastly, I'm just curious, but what exactly was the reasoning behind reducing the max SP's of US paratroopers from 6 SP to 4 or 5 SP? (Other than making things harder for me!) Thanks for any feedback.
