Re: Sargent Shultz, to much metwurst?
Hi again
I had a quick look at the encyclopedia and I found that Japanese and Italian bicycles are also size 1.(I think maybe in v6 all bicycles were size 2) The Belgians have a HMG bicycle squad and this has a size of 0. It seems whereever bicycles can be found they are size 1 except for the Germans. I seem to remember Hungary and Rumania also used to have bicycles but couldnt find any. Anyway I guess that when alocating bicycle size most OOB designers thought it better not to penalise the infantry role of the bicycle squad at the cost if ignoring the extra profile of being on a bicycle. I like this approach as front on profile is pretty much unchanged and side on a bicycle is pretty thin anyway. I guess you could also say that for most of a game turn they would be fighting dismounted anyway. Not that its any of my business but maybe it would be easier to change the Germans down rather than find the other nationalities bicycles and move them up in size.
Best Regards Chuck.
