2 Questions, well 3 actually.

Post by stan23 »

1. I don't see a spotting range in unit info. Is there?
2. Does repairing units during the scenario cost more?
3. What is a Zundapp Motorcycle?
Thanx to any and all replies and Greets from Virginia. :)

Well, this will explain the Zundapp Motorcycle. It's a weak recon unit and being German, I have no idea what it would be doing in Rising Sun.

Here's what it looked like in real life - three soldiers could ride it!

According to Wikipedia, Zündapp was a famous German motorcycle manufacturer, in business from 1917 through 1984. The name is still around but some Chinese company owns it now and they make mopeds! Zündapp motorcycles from the 1930's are still valuable collector's items, though.

I don't see it either but maybe it's because you are supposed to infer it from the map; i.e., you can "see" what a unit sees by the increased light around it. But thanks to the excellent Unit Navigator, you can look up the actual value if you wish:

Please note that the Unit Navigator tool shows "Spotting points", these are not actual tiles because different tiles have different spotting modifiers. Detailed explanation is located in here.
