Steel Panthers-Individual Soldiers

[scorpio_rocks]

Special forces are really out of the scope of this game (they are generally found far away from the front line) and work in very close-knit TEAMS - which is how they are portrayed in the game!

Besides individuals are very fragile - a team can take a hit or two and still function (in game).

Especially the two man anti-tank teams tend to be vulnerable, and their rate of fire is usually badly affected when they take just a single hit.

Anyway, in a WWII battlefield combatants acted in squads or teams - usually only snipers were expected to act on their own (which they can already do in the game).

(Runners/messengers could also be expected to move around the battlefield on their own, but that was not really a fighting role and is abstracted away in this game - and most others that I know.)
