Ultimate Battlegroup Builder

[Halicarnassuss]

So, this is my idea: There are lots of units that I particularly like, but the thing about these units is that a lot of them can only be found in one division. So, I propose that there should be a special battlegroup editor which allows you to build your very own battlegroup, on everything from its size to the types of units, how many packs and how many units in the packs, and what transports they come in. What do you all think?

It's the types and availability of units that gives the divisions each their unique character. What you appear to what is something to build mixed battlegroups as in WGRD. I oppose that, on principle.

There’s probably a mod for that in the workshop.

This would be great have thought the same thing maybe have it only available against the AI in a skirmish or a way to prevent a player from playing with it in multi unless the other player oked it this type of idea concept gives logngevity to the game and options = profit and enjoyment etc.

Just make it a seperate game mode, because you should not be able ton nor would it be fair or fun to just throw the strongest units in a battlegroup and just wreck your opponent, because lets be honest that is what would happen if you could use that in multi.

It would onlhy be fair and work as a seperate mode where you can play multiplayer or AI only agaist other custom battlegroups, those would be some nail bitting high explosive battles though!

Yeah I like certain recon units in certain battlegroups then same goes for infantry and support and arty especially for example with the English chaps your arty mortar thingy is this vehicle the one cannot hide so it easily gets taken out whereas the 101st has a 60 mm mortar one can hide whoo hoo

Oh, you even mean you'd want to mix and match bewteen other allied factions. I think that would be a nit strange and might be impossible or difficult to mod/make. and would throw realism even further away. but in some situations it might occur (it probably has but cant think of a specific battle just now) that US arty supports british Units in the field.

and sadly when i tried to make some changes in a battlegroup wit my mod it didn't show up. i cant seem to get my mod to work so i am no great help in that haha.

Quantity and Quality and variety. In a single commander!

... But then, why use anything BUT that commander?
And then other side same thing, and then, very very few units will be ever used.
Nothing but the absolute best. So that 95% other commanders and units never
get used :)

yeah, it'd make a game mode like that a lot more arcady but with how the spotting and ambushing works also a lot more heated, imagine a wel hidden battery of 88's pak and AA against a legion of Jumbo's, ram's or somthing, or 6 abd 17 pounders stopping a German top tier panzer blitz. It should not be the norm to fight likt that but the fun and creativity of recreating battles and scenario's though!

still love the base game to though especillt the attack and defense scenario's wish we'd get more maps!
