True, small-scale desperate skirmishes are interesting and easy to arrange with just a few unit slots. However, division, corps, army and even army group size operations depicted in CC games are not only about small unit missions. There should be also full-scale company(+) battles involved.
Currently at best you get a company(-) strong troops reinforced with some company/battalion and higher level support elements. But with mechanized units the situation is even worse. Mech infantry platoons don't differ much from the regular infantry due to lack of their half tracks. And that's solely caused by the limited unit slots. 21 slots is generally simply too few to form a decent fighting force.
However, I guess 100 slots per side is perhaps too much. I think ca. 30 slots for infantry units and around 50 slots for armored units would be nice.
I admit it can sometimes be tricky to control all units in the heat of a battle. But I wouldn't mind at all if the amount of slots was doubled or more. And I definitely don't regard myself as a hard core gamer.
As we know, it's extremely unlikely CC developers will change the maximum unit limit for published games. But to be honest, I don't have high hopes about the unit slot increase for future releases either.
So Argon2020, I encourage you. Keep on trying and let us know if you crack the code for our slot dilemma.
In August of 2004, Zappi, Homba, Bambam887, RedScorpion and MOOXE all pitched
in to create this Close Combat site. I would to thank all the people who have visited
and found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some
of the great Close Combat mods and our forums. I'd also like to thank
all the members of our volunteer staff that have helped over
the years, and all our users that contributed to this site!
