Mraah -> RE: DCG using 502 Heavy Panzer Battalion (2/12/2009 5:48:05 AM)

You know .... I don't know if this is usefull to anyone ...
Over the past few weeks I've been developing a mod called "Tiger Support"... for battalion/regiment size DCG's.
This mod brings in small Tiger companies of 1 or 2 SP (with or without leader) into the campaign. The problem with running a normal campaign (using a basic Panzer Division) is that the game doesn't have enough points left to "select" a full Tiger company ... it costs too much!!
It's quite fun. There are several (if not a dozen) ways to bring in Tiger Support (in small volumes). The idea spawned last year when I was introducing the M10 and M18 TD's into a West Front battalion size camp. I switched to eatern front because I'm reading the book "Tigers In The Mud".
I've even made a mod for the DCG that introduces Tiger Aces into the scene ... In this case, it's Otto Carius, between 4/43-7/44. Other Aces can be dropped into your camp too ... Imagine Wittmann showing up in the month of 7/41 in his lone StugB, Bussard ... to once again save the day!
I figured nobody would be interested because it add's a personality to the game and it might make the player favor this unique unit ... but then again, we are playing a DCG and every unit in our OOB is special.
Let me know ... I can upload a workable mod, including a few variants on how to introduce a unique unit.
