Yes sure, these interesting details make the whole thing more fun. I always found historical research and hunting for the smallest details at least as exciting as playing. Almost like a time cop investigating the long-forgotten past.guille1434 wrote: ↑Fri May 01, 2020 11:59 pm Hello Mac:
Looking for some more V-2 photographs, I found one image of what looks like a V-2 covered by a camouflaged canvas cover, which gives support to my idea... This of course, not invalidates the historical accuracy of the camouflage painted missiles (after all, that video you found shows camouflaged V-2 in flight, so no canvas cover possible in that situation). I was just happy to see that my rumbligs were not nonsense...
I always thought that being the V-2 missile a ballistic type weapon, it should be treated as an artillery type unit (the rocket itself being the ammunition of the unit, and not the unit itself). So, the unit (SE or otherwise) should be shown in game as the rocket in vertical (launch position), preferably with its firing support accesories (meillerwagen, firing base, etc...) and have a ammo capacity value = 1 (so, in one turn it would launch a rocket, and in the next one will reload the launcher) with long term suppression and no fire support capability. In my idea it should be implemented like a long range artillery bombardment rocket. And, no, no V-2 in horizontal position flying over the battlefield.captainjack wrote: ↑Sat May 02, 2020 8:15 am The camo V weapons made me think SE units. Now a single use se unit sounds a bit rubbish, but then these are expensive no-purchase units, and you free up the Se slot after use. So maybe not such a dumb idea after all.
You're right thereMcGuba wrote: ↑Thu May 07, 2020 11:23 pm Finally! After nearly 10 years (or 25 if we take Panzer General as well) no one can ever complain for those Polish riders for destrying the German panzers with their "sabres", lol. It was high time to show these players how it really happened. Better late, than never.

Tales of Polish cavalry attacking tanks with swords drawn, with Guderian's instigation, are widely heard. They tell such stories about Soviet cavalrymen. And who do you think is famously chopping PzKpfw?II in the picture?
This is spagi ( spahi)-native cavalry, completed in the French North-African possessions. On may 15, 1940, at La Horgne, 20 kilometers southwest of Sedan, the Northern battle group of the 1st Panzer division of the XIX Panzer corps of Guderian, consisting of the reinforced 1st motorized infantry regiment, came across the hastily occupied defense of the 3rd brigade of spaga (2nd Algerian and 2nd marocan regiments).
The fight was hot. Of the 700 North African cavalrymen, by the end of the eight-hour battle, about 100 had survived, and the rest were killed and wounded. The French enemy lost much less (about 100 men), but this was the largest daily loss of the 1st motorized infantry regiment in the entire campaign.
The fight, again, was hot. During the battle, there was an episode with an attack by a squadron of marocans with drawn swords. I am not sure, however, that it is on the tanks.
- I tried to do it myself but failed because I'm not an artist at all, unfortunately 
I will start working on it ASAP...
