I've seen the "value" thing on some units be below their cost, and I assumed value was what was accredited to the other side upon it's destruction, but I don't recall seeing any at a value higher than the original cost. If so, that does put a different wrinkle into the game for campaigners.
So, here's another question, let's say I have 10 tank units originally costing 100 pts. a piece and their 'value' has increased to 300. Does that make the original 1000 pt. force, 3000? When the other side looks at your force value, to figure out it's force size, would it be operating off the 1000 pts. value or the 3000? If it always operates off the 3000, then what is the point in gaining experience, since it only works to your detriment in a sense? Your 100 pt. tank has just been guaranteed that should he climb to 300, he will have to endure a 3-to-1 deficit. I hope I'm misunderstanding you, or that you're incorrect in any case.
It isn't as bad as a 3-1 bump, the PZVIb that I had at 348 value was something like a 108 experiance, 117 armor leader with a 105 rally and 99 morale. It had progressed to the point where I could count on it to kill 3-4 tanks per turn, due to both it's increased chance to hit and the increase in firing rate. With several of these in a firing line I could kill tank platoon after tank platoon, until their guns broke or they ran out of ammo.
thanks, John.
