For my sins Matrix have invited me to join the Beta Brigade and like yourselves I've noticed one or two little eyebrow raisers that I've passed on. Jason ('Gor bless 'im) with his usual incisiveness has replied to the effect of "Well stop carping on about it - do something!".
So for starters I'm collating a list of anomalies in the various unit files and for my sins am working through the files unit by unit, nation by nation, game by game and you can help me.
Please reply to this thread if you notice a perceived problem with a unit. I say "perceived" as there could be a good design reason why the unit does not appear as you suspect it should.
This could be anything from say flamethrower icons appearing on the wrong unit, bicycles thrown in the ditch and abandoned ambushing passing tanks to missing entries on the unit text (the bit you read when you press F2).
The information I need is as follows
- GAME
- NATIONALITY
- UNIT NAME
- SCENARIO IN WHICH THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTED
- NATURE OF THE PERCEIVED PROBLEM
So far I have ...
Engineering units blowing themselves up in minefields.
Horses and bicycles shooting people up.
Soviet SMG platoons with different fire values even though they are from the same period and same over-riding organisation.
Virtually indestructable Grant Tanks.
So come on folks don't be shy ...
