We have just finished playing this mod H2H and have now swapped sides. My buddy initially played the allies and was constantly moaning, now I am the allies I can see why. We are playing with moral off and when the allies attack the germans who often have superior unit equipment (once through the beach defenses) and points they often will wipe out the attacking unit. For example my armour unit goes in (can field 5 tanks or varying quality maybe two fireflies) finds they are up against 10 panthers and fittingly get wiped out however I am happy as I have killed a few of these panthers and think my unit will return at 75% strength, and can then have another go at whittling down this unit. (there are about four of these super units and a couple that can have 8-10 Mark IV) so the only thing to do is engage them and wear them down over the course of the month.
Anyway it turns out that my disbanded unit does not return and therefore for the loss of a few panthers for the germans they have effectively wiped out 20+ allied tanks 50+ allied infantry and support units.
When we first played while I was the germans the tank losses were around the same 175 allied tanks and 170 german tanks, yet given the amount of allied units who disbanded and never returned that accounted for all the allied tanks while the germans still had around 50 left and therefore the allies were crushed. So while the allies outnumber the germans if their units do not respawn, these 3-5 strong german units can wipe out allies at will. Either the allies need to be given more points, vehicle slots, equipment quality to match the germans or respawning disbanded units needs to be put in
Just clicking on the link on the first page of this thread and it downloads 500mb of something but I can't then unzip this, is this the right link to this mod or should I find it somewhere else?
