I'm curious............ has anyone used OrPo (Ordnungspolize) units from the German OOB in a game??

Hi.
I think I have played a battle or two with OrPo vs Partisans.

Orpo units......infantry and vehicles, use 35 slots so it's nice to hear someone uses them

Nope - they are the first thing I rip out to add other stuff... Sorry

I used OrPo (about a Coy) worth in scenario 312 (some were trapped in the Cholm pocket). I think they ahve a place in the OOB but I can't say I use them much...

Can't say I have ever used them, or the Luftwaffe troops, but it's fun that they are included. That being said, maybe reducing troops like this down to a few units instead of 35 slots? That way there is still something in the OOB for a scenario designer, but you also free up some space.

I've also used them once or twice against partisans.

OK slight change of topic...........is anyone avoiding Hungary ( for example....... ) because the unit names are in Hungarian ? I know of one for sure.......Andy.

I think, that if one is really eager to play Hungarians (not being one of them), he would play them anyway, checking each unit what's inside If not, it means he was not eager enough

IMO: too much unnecessary work, but it's up to you (unless there is someone knowing Hungarian language on the forum, who would translate all names).

As for OrPo - I'd vote for keeping them, maybe in a reduced number (maybe there's no need of two Pz-I and two French Marders differing in colors only - if OrPo used tank destroyers at all...)

I have no problem with the Hungarian OOB or the other Finno-Ugric language OOB - Finland.
