Battle Group Settings

I'm playing this game for review. With the first scenario, the briefing says I can only have one tank but the default Battle Groups gives me two Crocs. Please clarify. Thanks.

I don't have the scenario on front of me, but if the briefing is specifying one tank then you have to voluntarily select one tank and fill the other two support slots with other units of choice or as per briefing instructions.

Yes but when I go straight to the battle, the two Crocs are there. So what's the point of selecting units if default overrides the briefing, especially if default is better than briefinf?

[Cathartes]

It's ultimately up to the player. Some of the briefings are written to shape a more challenging battle against the AI. The AI will fill slots for both sides, but the player can customize to a certain degree, especially with support units.

Good to know. Thanks.

Jim - please let us know when your review is ready. I am still deciding whether or not to buy it. I like the fact that it's on Steam, and the matchmaker seems to have a decent amount of folks in the lobby looking for a game. But, I have read quite a few major problems, e.g. units getting instantly spotted when selecting the "Fire" command, as opposed to the "Defend" command. Others say mortars are way, way overpowered and accurate.

I respect your reviews and look forward to this one.
