Very helpful List...LOL!!

[egrofik]

Thank you for the list, but what are the conditions to get these units?
In USC42 I only get the Panzer IIIN and SdKfz 234/2 8r.

Where is US fighter ace Francis Gabreski?

To get the Casablanca French 105 there's a city in the NE part of the map, I forget if it's the coastal city or the one to the east of it inland, that spawns the gun.

Cassino Breakthrough -> Gaeta -> SdKfz 234/2 8r

What the deal with all those capturable German recons 234/2? Which I think is the best recon unit in the game. Maybe except for Sahariana/LRDP if you can utilize the dismounted infantry. BTW that would be two nice capturables to have, especially with desert paint.

[egrofik]

This is not very nice...(from the game)
I have played all DLCs and Grand Campaigns on FM and Guderian and found every capturable unit.
Now I am in Monte Cassino and got nothing. No captured unit on my way and I conquered every flag.
Again my question, what are the conditions in detail or trigger points to get these nice units???
EDIT: found the recon in Gaeta...

[milliethedog]

the way to get every capturable is take every flag on the map, you have to leave as many of the surrounding hexes empty to allow the unit to spawn. I tend to use reco to take and move, if I have to fight I ill kill the defender move everyone on to the next target the take it with a recon unit. It is also worth checking out unusual features like ... oh I don't know maybe ... like a certain volcano.....

Some units in order to capture you will have to destroy the unit and it will become salvage and join you. A new feature of the GC.

[milliethedog]

Simcc, you are totally correct, you can capture some equipment in some very limited special cases, you can capture a Tiger in the soviet game, but you are told about it and you want to do as little damage to it as you get an over strength unit if you are careful, you can capture a dug in Matilda in the British series. Which units are you thinking of here? the only one I can think of that you destroy to capture, is the Fort/coastal gun at Dunkirk to the get it to work for you

Always keen to learn more,

[simcc]

Won't give to much spoiler ahead so I give an example for US GC, sdkfz if you manage to destroy it then you will get it as salvage. I do miss out some units during my first run as I am playing FM level so it's a little bit hard and insane to grab all flag and knock out all enemy.

Maybe my second run I will do a colonel level to hunt down everything.

[kverdon]

Ok, what is this Naples "Easter Egg" that people allude and if it really does exist how do you obtain it? I captured every location on the map and eliminated every axis unit and got a goose egg, ie NOTHING. Is this some type of joke?

Look in the mountains

[milliethedog]

Hi Kverdon, it does exit, It is not a flag location but a feature, Look for a famous feature on the Naples map, you will get the present if you put a unit in the right Hex. There are more of these presents in the earlier DCLs (Leningrad has one for example), its a little thing the designers do to encourage us.

Martin

[kverdon]

Thanks I found it. Cute little unit, just took a minor Herculaneum effort to find it

[milliethedog]

Well Done, now you can really go MAD looking for your next "Easter Egg"

Martin

[Flaygor]

I just wanted to remind anyone who is new or just plain forgot, like me..... ..... do not try and claim these easter eggs on your last turn! Always finish your mission objectives on the turn AFTER capturing a special hex so they can spawn properly

[b52pilot1]

Where is the Panzer IVG in the Tunis scenario of DLC '42? I've searched everywhere and haven't found it...

[milliethedog]

Its at the town in the bottom right of the map, remember you must leave room for it to spawn and at least 1 turn before the finish of the game.

Martin

[b52pilot1]

Finally got it...thank you! I don't think I was leaving enough space for it to spawn. It was also tricky since that was the last Axis infantry unit guarding the town which caused the scenario to end.
