I just think the Americans could use some heavy tanks.

Interesting! Since this is a hypothetical war, why not include them? I'm sure the Russians have some stuff you can throw in there.

Edit: The info is at the bottom of the page.

A thank you note for gathering and posting those older how-to docs/pdfs on your site. They are very very useful to anyone learning this game, although I'm sure they seem quite ancient to the authors or a lot of the regulars here.

And, I almost downloaded the Europa beta, almost. But do people ever finish these huge games ? (Other than indefatigable fourteen-year-olds) I'm just curious how people can find the time to focus and complete these monsters -- okay, and I admire those folks who can find the time.

Considering the interest monster scenarios like Fire In The East and Europe Aflame have, there are several players willing to have a go at them

Status: offline 		Looking at those figures, I think abut reclassifying these monsters as slow motorized eqp... they're only a notch faster than WW1 type tanks.. a trade-off vs the firepower and armor the Maus and co have

I don't know if this is a oob error, but there are 2x 3 Mar Div in the allied oob.
1x in V MAC
1x in 4 MAU

And i have some suggestions about additional Dutch units in youre oob.

On allied side.
1. Para-Commando Battlegroup
This unit was in realtime in this timeframe action in the NEI
And exist out 2 Commando (raised from 2 Dutch Troop and Korps Insuline) and 1st Paratroopers Companies

2. Marines Brigade
This unit is raised, trained and equiped in the US. and was on the end of 1945 in the NEI.

And on the Axis side side you can as balance also add a Dutch Marine Brigade

Status: offline 		What a wonderful idea to add the Dutch units. Adds a bit more of a personal touch to a non-historical scenario. Might be able to do this with the Spanish and Belgian units. Don't know if anything can be done for the Danish or Sweeds. Maybe! Might be something to look into. I'll poke around and see what I can dig up

The T28 will be seen in new so-called US Armored Assault units and in some Armored divisions. the Tortoise as infantry support in British divisions... Production figures are kept kinda low as it would be expensive to produce these kind of monsters en masse and production is geared towards cheaper mass production AFV's... But there you are, they can encounter the Maus on the battlefield
