Colonel Klink -> Idea for a new unit and a question (6/30/2000 6:34:00 PM)

Hi, is it possible to create the two man team or lone flamethrower. i'm pretty sure the germans had two man teams where the british/americans had a single man. Also, if they happened to get mowed down there should be a chance that the tank explodes and u get a nice explosion graphic. also, i had a question about infantry squads. If you load up a nine man squad on a transport but there's only enough room for half, for example, what happens to the other guys. i recently tried loading a full squad into a kubelwagen. when they unloaded only four guys made it and the rest were not to be found. Do these guys (the ones left behind) eventually re-join their outfit or are they MIA?

I've seen the units you're talking about in scenarios before, but they're not 'official' units in the OOB. I'm kinda curious how the different armies used flamethrowers and how often, actually. Also, those units not loaded on an insufficient transport are counted as casualties - that's an old item even from Steel Panthers III.

there's some good reading about flamers in the book "a bridge too far" by cornelius ryan. I'm guessing individual flamethrowers, would of made a good, low cost assault force. It would of been quite dangerous, i can imagine, walking into battle having one of those fuel tanks strapped on. Nooooo thanks. [img]http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
