Thoughts on the Booker

It did exist in the testing phase for about a year and I have lots of room in the USA extention OOB so I was thinking of leaving it in from 4/124-5/125 for "what if"
?

I'd love to play it and see how it stands up compared to some of the other 40 ton options.

Fallout Re: What happens in 2025? / new tactics- new technologies

Am I to "assume" that by having the extended OOBs under the allies that we can't use them to build/or use them for our "core" units in the game?

Just trying to understand how that relationship will work based on what's been posted.

Just "chalk it up" the question to my lack of technical knowledge in game design.

Also I'm sure sometime in the "deep past" this might've been asked but, will a plane or jet coming on the map with a couple of AA missiles attack say, enemy helicopters that might already be on the map it sees?

To "BOOKER" under the conditions you posted-why not (Though now I wish I hadn't ditched my build info-oh well!?! Best I can say was I had it slightly better than BRADLEY in armor except for the latest on in service now.) it might provide some interesting game play.

That'll be a much more realistic situation then is what you can call the South African Army at his time all I can say is "there will be blood" in that OOB. Corruption, incompentance and more. It would be a "Best Selling" novel of fiction if it wasn't for the fact it's a shameful but true story.

Also I found a piece of new equipment that will transcend BOTH games within the last week quite by accident but fully verified none the less.

Regards,
Pat

Pat........ The ALLIES button can be clearly seen as accessible when buying your core. You can test that quite easily



SO YES the extention OOB's can be used to build your core

In both my copies of WinSPWW2 and WinSPMBT I can only buy allied/captured units after I’m done buying core campaign units. The ‘Allies’ option is absent until I press ‘Done’ and move to the support unit purchase screen. Is the ability to purchase allied/captured units for your core campaign force new for the next update or is there something I’m not doing right?

You can have allies in a battle "core" but NOT in a campaign core:

Hello. Sorry, but I didn't understand. Is there a version 18?
Because the latest one I have is 17.a

That would explain it! Thanks for adding that, I’m looking forward to putting that feature to good use!
