Default Re: Size 0 units

I want to clear something up for anyone reading these posts thinking that just because every detail across similar units is not the same then there must be something wrong

We started with OOB GUIDELINES with some hard rules but there was a lot of flexibility in the guidelines

I will start and end this with two examples and then I am done. I have no time or inclination after telling everyone we are done with SPww2 to go back and endlessly explain why things might be the way they are .......they just are and in many cases have been that way for most of the game's QUARTER CENTURY existence.

1/An AAMG used by a Brit Home Guard unit is perfectly acceptable as the MG is usable on both ground and air targets when used by that unitclass and adding one that has AA capability means it's available for players to choose ( not that it really matters as few people would bother with a home guard unit anyway and I doubt even 1% of player knew it even existed)

2/ A two MG- 8 man size 1 unit IS a "standard" but it's not carved in stone a SINGLE MG 8 man size 1 unit MAY be an "error" and PERHAPS should have been made four men with size zero but it wasn't because it very well may have been a DELIBERATE DESIGN DECISION. It should be obvious that an 8 man unit has more resistance to damage than a 4 man unit and that could very well be why they are the way they are. IDK.... I cannot be expected to know why an OOB designer 20 years ago might have decided to build a unit that way

The game has lasted as long as it has because of the variables built in and the OOB's are part of that.

This discussion ends now
