OOB 30 Canada

[DRG]

One thing that throws a bit curve into everything is

Inf Co DW/T+ (formation 329)

and

Inf Co DW/T (formation 330)

should really be named

Inf Co DW/T (formation 329)

and

Inf Co DW/T(-) (formation 330)

to match the original formations that do not have added support weapons ( like formation 29-Infantry Co (-) or formation 25 Mech Inf Co (-))

and, as well there are slight problem with formation 337 and 338 that I will attend to for the next patch

Wow what a set of detailed answers - took me awhile to work through it all.

It makes sense now that you've explained it. Thanks!

If the DW formations are authentic then I'd rather they be kept around for the extra flexibility in buying options.

On the Blitz forum there is some discussion of experimental rules that would only allow the purchase of pre-defined formations (except for the leftover points at the end). This is why I asked about the Inf Cbt Sup Co. formation in my earlier post.

The experimental rules discussion is at Blitz Forums

One last (I hope) question:

Is there any particular reason why Formations 299, 300, 301 & 302 (1,2,3 and 4 Tracked APCs for Misc screen) are only available until Dec/2000?

It should be 2020

Since I've been using the Canada OOB a lot over at the Blitz, I ended up making some of the fixes discussed here. I'd like to post it here so my opponents can d/l it and anybody is welcome to check it for errors.

I set the Version Info to "Fix Version Feb/2008 ...".

The following fixes were made:

- Formation 205 - 2 Light Trucks now has 2 trucks not 3
- Formation 227 - Art Observer now uses FOO (Unit 250)
- Formation 228 - Art Observer/T now uses FOO (Unit 250)
- Formation 230 - FO Team now uses FOO (Unit 250)
- Formations 299 through 302 - 1,2,3,4 Tracked APCs now available till Dec/2020

Let me know if you find any problems with my changes.

I have a question about the Canada Infantry-AT teams in the present day era.

There are 3 different variations:
- Infantry MAW Team with Carl Gustav (4xHE, 2xHEAT)
- Ski MAW Team with Carl Gustav (2xHE, 4xHEAT)
- Para MAW Team with Carl Gustav (2xHE, 4xHEAT)

Why does the Infantry MAW Team only carry 2 HEAT? I would have thought that being an AT team they would carry more HEAT than HE ammo. (as the Ski & Para MAW teams do).

HEAT now has HE effects so all the HE was removed for units like this a release or two back and all were given HEAT and these were missed.

They will be all HEAT in the next patch
