By “taking care of them” he means to make sure they don’t get zapped. I would bet he has increased the point value so if they are lost, you will lose the battle.

He did that in a number of battles in the Korean War Campaign called “The Chosin Few.” For example, wounded troops in medical evacuation trucks or their medical teams.

Protect them at all costs!

Status: offline 		I am not sure about this particular senario but I played a smalkl campaign that had one senario that the mission was to beat a retreat off the map with all your wounded. It had a bunch of vehicles and a whole bunch of walking wounded seriouly wounded, etc squads. I ended up playing it twice because the first time I lost some wounded, and when I finally got some wounded off the map it said waling wounded exits map 1500 points! a tank only gave me about 300! Needless to say when I saw that I started over and made sure I protected ALL the wounded!

Hi Harry:

Do you mean the medical or hospital tents or is their an actual medical unit? If a unit, what nationality?

Off course the units don´t have "medical" abilities, but these are unarmed infantry units (ski infantry to prevent close assaults) that have a proper picture (stretcher bearers) and a limited carry capicity. That carry capacity then can be used to carry some "wounded" infantry units. Just check the PDF for all details.

Btw, Bruce you asked for it. There´s also a new "fast" barge unit included in norway OOB as well as some other naval stuff!

Status: offline 		Thanks to Recon and Harry for addressing this matter. Medical teams cannot "heal" the wounded in the game. Historically (Vets can correct me on this), the presence of a "medic" or "corpsman" was encouraging to the fighting man. It meant that if he were wounded he would receive medical attention right then and there (hopefully!).

Thus their value is increased. Now a note to designers. Use HQ units to allow them to offer additional morale checks. Of course this means that they would have to belong to a particular unit for that to work.

Either way, I feel it adds a touch of realism. As I have read and in talking with combat vets, medics were greatly appreciated. They were heroes, a special breed. In addition, the enemy often targeted medics knowing that killing them would hurt their adversaries even more.
