Unit of the Day?

Funny, I have always thought otherwise and found the ability for forces engaged in an engagement skirmish to destroy all available support artillery muy muy estupido.

Even though I really hate this kind of argument I would also seriously doubt lightning fast counter-battery fire (like you can have in the wargame serie) was available during WW2.

In wargame/wargame-like games it would be turbo-cancer. The only thing you would be able to do vs. offmap artillery is to be somewhere else when the shells hit.

As for airplanes... really? You can shoot those down, sometimes even before they drop their bombs. Unless you can shoot down artillery shells or somehow blow up the guns, there's no way to compare the two.

Unit of the Day may not be the best fit for this game, but Division of the Week would be great.

I wonder how many we'll be seeing on Wednesday.

There's going to be four divisions in the beta, they said. Two allied, and two axis.

My prediction is we'll see 101st Airborne and one of the three Panzer Divisions we know are in (I'd guess Panzer Lehr). Then I predict we'll see a counterpart to each division on the opposing side... so some sort of Fallschirmjager/Light Infantry division on Axis and an armored (likely British Armored) division on Allied side.

We've seen pictures of 12. SS Division and Panzer Lehr on the Germans, as well as 2nd French Armored and 101st Airborne on Allied side, so those are my guesses.

Its been hinted that the pictures of the Free French dont have anything do to with the Beta but simply are from a press release. I personally guessed guards armoured division and got a cryptic reply to I am guessing they will be the 2nd allied unit.

But given how a certain eugen dev is, its anyones guess, it could even be stuff we dont know yet lol.

That'd be great, actually, I'm looking forward to seeing the Brits and would love to be able to play them in beta already.

Those screenshots were taken when Eugen was presenting the game to the French press, that's why they had the French and the most stereotypical Germans.

I don't think we will get two panzer divisions in the beta.

 

[UltimateIdiot]

You might be right, it wouldn't make sense. It was just a guess based on what we've seen, I kind of assumed those are the divisions that are finished and playable at the moment. But we'll know tomorrow won't we?
