Your are right FloydW.

Well. 7th "Ghost Division" disposition.

[Yrfin]

Few words about Scale.

1. Map scale: 3-4 km/Hex
2. Tanks unit coefficient 2. So, Tanks Unit Str [10] mean about 20 tanks.
3. Inf Units scale about 80-100. So, Inf Units Str [10] means about 800-1000 mens.
4. Air Units scale 12 pcs.
5. Art Units: 1:1. But Armored Arty Units have coefficient 2 like Tanks.

[Yrfin]

Changes in Game Rules:
1. Field Replace Cost changed to 999 %. So, reinforcements only between Scens.
2. Overstrength Cost - 600 %.
3. Upgrade Cost - 70% (instead 100 %)
4. Use SoftCap = 0
5. No more Random Heroes yet
6. Prestige For Surrender - 100 % (instead 50 %)
7. Upgrade penalty. If the unit is upgraded between two different series, it loses 100 experience.

[Yrfin]

Terrains changes:
1. "Clear" renamed to "Plain"
2. "High Mountains" changed to "Forested Hill"(2 Ini Cap, 2 Entrenchment)
3. "Jungle" changed to "Sand"
4. Additional type of terrain :
- Wadi/ Ravine
- Village

Terrain Stats changed:

- "Hills" now open terrain, but "Forested Hill" - close terrain.
- "Countryside" and "Dunes" entrenchment up to 1.
- "Hills" inicap raise from 5 to 7 (like Dunes)

Also, all terrains (except Plain/Road/City/Port/Village/Airfield) have trait "lowsup".

Also, all terrains (except Plain/Road/City/Port/Village/Airfield) have trait "lowsup".

This is looking to be a more brutal version of Panzer Corps, less forgiving.

I dont think so.
Maintaiance (Fuel/Ammo reload) just happen 1 time in scen (18-20 turn).
But now it will make you remember about it:)

Well...
Most of Units in this Mod are Switchable (not all).

Lets start from Infantry (Class 0).

1. Infantry have a 2 mode (stance):
- Attack mode (lower GD/AD, fast move)
- Defence mode (higher GD/AD, slow move, passive attack).

[Yrfin]

About Rommel Unit: it switchable

- Foot Mode - spot 3, captureflag trait
- AC mode - spot 3, reconmove, no captureflag
- Fly mode - spot 3, reconmove, no captureflag
