Oh, I wouldn't suggest such a thing. I was thinking of one generic Borgward representing the big boys and one generic Goliatch representing the small stuff = two slots.

even if there were a lot of slots left both in the weapons and unit's list for that OOB and methinks even the bigger version will end up being about as useless in the game as it was in reality
As for them being useless, I dont know much about Goliaths, but the B IV actually did what it was supposed to. Even if it was cumbersome and fragile. Problem in game terms is that it cannot really be made to do what it was supposed to do. If it could, the B IV could replace the ahistorical (but so far necessary) mine-roller thingie in the German OOB

But you are right - if they cannot clear mines, they sort of loose their point.

Still, with the new explosives available and Andys recipe, players can just knock themselves out trying to make these, if they so desire.
