John, the Fallschirmjager divisions are all there but you can't break them up into battalion level fire brigades. It would be just too painful to do. You can break them down into three regiments and use them however you like. If you start going down the path of adding every company and battalion sized unit, you open the floodgates to managing a level of data that becomes a almost umanageable to both the player and the designers. There are no alert or emergency units as they just arrive and withdraw on a timetable. Trey quote:
ORIGINAL: j campbell For the german units, the level seems to be primarily at divisonal. I would think any incorporation of brandenburg units would be considered like a support unit. If i am not mistaken they primarily operated at strengths under company level (were they ever deployed as a full battalion?). FJ units on the eastern front arrived in an Emergency role to help contain the Soviet winter offensive-first in the Leningrad sectorin Sept. 1941 (I and II FJR1) ( FJR3) then with units in AGS (I, II Bn FJR2. Other units snet include the I and II falschirm pioneer battallion and II LLStr plus an assortment of small machinegun and artillery units. in Feb 1942 a small battle group under Miendl was dispatched to Vyazma area east of Smolensk and then North to the leningrad sector. In May , the soviet 11th army with 2nd Shock group attacked which units of this battle group helped to contain (they well might have been the primary defenders i am not positive). Actually, there was a plan in place to use FJ in the caucus theatre in an airborne drop but it was scrubbed. personally, i think the Fj units should be incorporated into the game but there could be alimit placed on total number of FJ soldiers for all their units. once those units/men are burned out they are gone ie. their men are near irreplacable. Elmo, are there alert/emergency units that you can transfer over from a seperate theatre given a certain situation or are the reinforcements just on a timetable? thanks, john
