Priapus heres my german BG recomendations for the new mod. [ line settings in the game? ] these changes are based on three books in particular, "it never snows in september"and "the forgotten army", and "sons of the reich, 2nd SS panzer corps". my recomendations are for improvment of game playability and still maintain a certain amount of historical accuracy. the problem with LSA IMHO is that the germans lack alot of the equipment that was avalible to them historically in the game or was not included in the game because of alledged few numbers of this equipment or lack of written records. the book "it never snows in sept" has allot of information derived from from many personel interviews with german soldiers who were in Campaign, including Heinz Harmel commander of the 10 SS and Karl - Heinz Euling. 107 PZ BDE [ the numbers for this BG are TOTAL numbers of squads, NOT added to whats already in the game bg, unless stated] sept 18 9:00 6 shreaks, 5 assault engineer squads [ take out the lame pioneer squads ] 10 PZ Grd squads, 10 PZ Grd mg squads, 6 hmg squads, 8 zugtrupp. ADD...6 lmg squads, 3 20mm h/t's, 3 37mm h/t's KG Reinhold sept 18 6:00 ADD...4 PZ Grd, 4 PZ Grd mg, 3 mark 4 tanks and 1 mk 4 command tank. sept 18 15:00 ADD..reinforce with 3 mk 4 tanks, 1 mk 4 command tank, 6 SS PZ Grd, 6 SS PZ Grd mg, 4 shreaks, 2 8cm mortors,4 hmg, 6 lmg and 6 zugtrupp. [ all SS of course] KG Euling sept 18 00:00 REPLACE the 1 stug with 4 Jag 4 tanks. ADD...2 hmg h/t's and 2 37mm h/t's sept 18 15:00 ADD...reinforce with 2 SS stugs, 6 SS zugtrupp, 5 SS PZ Grd, 5 SS PZ Grd mg, 4 SS assault engineer, 4 shreaks, 4 hmg, 6 lmg, 2 75mm pak, 4 20mm flak and 2 8cm mortors. [ all SS of course] Eulings BG should absorb the static BG at Nijmegan to get at least 4 88 flak guns. the 88 flak guns and 20 and 37 mm flak guns were an intrical part of the nijmegan defences for Euling and Reinhold. 280 Stug BDE sept 19 6:00 TOTAL Stugs should be 2 stuh 42's and 4 Stug 3's. ADD...6 Grenadier squads, 8 lmg, and 4 zugtrupp. KG Chill ADD...1 more Jagdpanther [ total = 2 ], 1 Stug 3, 3 FJ 75mm pak's, 3 FJ 75mm inf guns KG Harder sept 17 18:00 ADD... 4 SS zugtrupp, 4 SS PZ Grd, 4 SS PZ Grd mg sept 20 6:00 ADD 1 Panther tank KG Gaebner sept 17 15:00 ADD.... 4 SS Puma's, 4 SS 251/9 75mm h/t's, 6 SS pzaufklarer mg, 6 SS lmg, and 4 SS zugtrupp. KG Brinkmann sept 18 00:00 ADD...6 SS pzaufklarer mg, 4 SS lmg, 2 SS zugtrupp, 4 251/9 75mm h/t's KG Henke static BG at Nijmegan bridge Henke had a Flak Battery used in the duel purpose role of AA and A/T....4 or 6 88 flak guns and another 4 20 mm and 37 mm flak guns???? KG Spindler sept 17 15:00 ADD...4 SS PZ Grd, 4 SS PZ Grd mg, 2 SS hmg, 6 SS lmg, 1 flak 88, 3 251 hmg h/t's, 1 flamethrower team, 4 250/9 h/t's, 2 Stug 3's, 2 75mm pak's. sept 22 6:00 ADD..reinforce with 4 SS assault engineer squads with flamethrowers. KG Knaust sept 18 12:00 ADD.... 2 flak 88's, 6 Grenadier, 6 Grd mg. sept 22 6:00 ADD... reinforce with 6 SS assault engineer squads with flamethrowers. [ this BG looks good for the anmount of tanks that show as reinfocements in the game ] KG Walther sept 22 6:00 ADD.... 4 75mm pak's, 2 Panther tanks, and 2 75mm Inf guns. sept 23 9:00 ADD.. reinforce with 5 SS Jag 4's, 4 SS PZ Grd, and 4 SS PZ Grd mg KG Jungwirth sept 18 6:00 ADD.... 6 FJ shreaks, 6 FJ lmg, 3 FJ 75mm pak's, 3 FJ 75mm inf guns. all the other BG's in stock LSA should be LEFT ALONE for now IMHO untill we play test these BG's to see how the game NOW plays. IMO the new assault engineer squads should all be 8 man squads with explosives, fausts, mp 40 sub machine guns, lots of grenades, and a flamethrower. [ Tiger..ur opinion? ] Hope you gents like what ive got here. its my opinion that if too many BG's are given tanks and or equipment that wasnt present historically it may skew the game drastically. what i have presented here i think is somewhat historically correct, maybe not as far as numbers go but as far as what type of equipment was there and who had acces to it. by increasing the numbers of equipment a bit, we get back the playabilty of the game.
