Maginot Line Fortifications

These are much more useful for creating real world scenarios than the plethora of prototype and experimental tanks that currently inhabit the OOBs.

The units we have we inherited from the original game I think. They suffice as representative units for the few people who conceivably might want to make such a scenario (they are X3 radio code so not used in generated battles). I don't think there actually is such a scenario anyway.

This is a game of tactical ground warfare - and the end users are thus interested in tactical units, and not a what-if slogging match scenario. Our end user base is much more interested in what-ifs about possible tanks etc as used in regular battle. Hence Maus, etc...

So those things really have little relevance for the stock OOBS. But if you really do want to make your own modified OOB with such items then by all means feel free to make and post it for those who might download it.
