New western front units/skins

Post by Klingsor »

Greeting from France,
I was looking at the units available for scenario design in BA's editor and noticed that some infamous AFV were missing. I am not a modder myself and though, i don't pretend to do anything to help the community by designing those units myself but should someone like to give it a look, i would be more than happy to help with the balance and rules of each and every new addition to the game (having worked in military history and in the wargaming industry for seven years will surely help).
I have played a modder designed scenario with some LRDG jeeps and Chevrolet so i suppose that people around are able to do that kind of thing.
By the way, maybe Slitherine will release some new units through incoming add-ons... Who knows.

Meanwhile, here is a wish list :
Germans
Sdkfz 250/9 (2cm KwK 38 gun)
Sdkfz 251/16 (2 x 1.4 cm flammenwerfer)
Grille (15 cm sIG 33 gun) or Brummbär (15 cm Stuh 43/L12)
Stuh 42 (10.5 cm gun)
Sd Kfz 7/1 (quad 2cm)
Jagdpanther
Jagdpanzer IV/L48 or L70 gun
Maybe a schwimmwagen that could cross rivers (would be fun !)
New skins to get waffen SS MG/mortars or FJ MG/mortars etc. would be fine too.

Allied :
Brits :
M10 C 17 pdr
Churchill AVRE
Challenger (OQF 17 pdr) or Comet (77mm HV)
An armoured scout car : Staghound, AEC III or else (Humber)
skins for airborne mortars/mg etc.
Maybe some new infantry unit with 2inch mortars that could move and shoot as usual but also lob some shells on jerrys.
Airborne recon jeeps with .50
Tetrarch airborne light tank

US :
skins for Airborne support units (mortars/mg etc.)
Jeeps with .50 or .30 or even the version with the M2 60mm mortar.
Same as brits : infantry/airborne units with M2 60 mm mortars for close suppressing fire.

What do you think ?

cheer,
K.

I like your list ... Creating units (3rd party) isn't a problem anyone except that it takes time and imagination.

If Slitherine create's more Expansions I hope they'll add your's to their list.

There seems to be so much to do and very little time to get it done.

Yes, we can hope BA will get more add ons : Italy, Market Garden, eastern front, invasion of Poland, maybe some northern scenarios in Norway... or the Pacific front. We'll see.

PS : correction : Brit airborne jeeps did not use .50 but vickers as far as i remember, but ingame effects should roughly be equivalent.
