Default Re: German Motorcycles and their Units

Good day,

Narwan,thanks for pointing me towards the Italian MC units, this does solve one problem with amending the German MC units. The motorcycle(light infantry) & motorcycle (heavy infantry)classes should help making them being more accurate. I'm working on a solution within the programmes parameters.

Shan, thanks for your side note, the figures and info you relayed to us, caused me to do so more research on the Kradschützen (not finsihed yet) amongst other things, I did confirm the carnage the Kradschützen endured in action and the 50% casualities, is not out of line. This figures in the game as well, at least in most of my battles. These stats still ring true with the 2 battles my new single MC have been though, however, my units have been able to carry out their assignments better, being split up. I see why, where possible, the Wehrmacht began replacing MC Recce Units with Armoured Cars. MC's did aerve in the Recce role unit the end of the war with many units. I can well imagine a lot of FNG's were riding point in action. All this has also confirmed that "Recce by Death" was not just routine that keeps raising it's ugly head on the game board.

All this confirms yet again, how awesome this game real is!!!

Cheers, Bob
