Alright. This is a bad idea because people going to hate it even before I have introduced it thanks to my respond of the ostheers Royal tiger in the annoucment thread. However, thats another history.
( Sorry if some of you find that offending, However back here in Sweden my homecountry ja. We would found that hilarious XD Or not.)However Enough off topic and now to my idea of a unique unit for the ostheer
Its going to be a doctrine unit and probaly ( because the doctrines are set already?) going to be a reward unit of some sort or maybe a rare foreign troops unit?
Who knows.
I present you !
Commonwealth volenteers !
One of my absolut favorite topics of WW2 is the one about foreign volenteers, especially the ones on the german side! One of these really unique ¨legions¨ were the British Free corps!
Yes you see right. British volenteers! Read them up!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Free_CorpsOne hell of a intresting unit and could be a really fun unit to have along
They would be a call in unit as I maybe have written before. They are going to be in a group of 5 and performe rather poor in battle. I would compare them to Luftwaffe ground forces in combat. A light infantry unit simpel ^^
Now to the ¨unique¨ about this unit!
They should be rather cheap. Like 250mp ?
The unit can only be deploy twice a game because of the lack of volenteers. ( If you read them up, you should found that they were like 32 members as max.)
So if these two units die. Well, they are dead and cant be deployed again.
They can be upgraded with mp40 for 50ammo or something similar and they are going to have the handgrenade abilety.
You can reforce them at buildings but one of there unique abiletys is!
Exampel:
You are playing against a British player. You encounter him in combat with infantry. The british retreats . However your Commonwealth volenteers unit have taken casulties!
So lets say there is only 3 guys left of the original 5 guys. But in front of you there are wounded British soldiers from the battle just seconds ago!
Now the Ostheer player have the abilety by using his Commonwealth volenteers to resurect this wounded British soldiers by simply clicking on him and transform him into a replacment in the commonwealth volenteer unit !
( owh god jesus Christ dont hate me! Its just an idea!? XD)
A cheaper way of reinforcement!
It wouldnt break balance that much because of the units bad combat skills and low numbers on the field right? ^^
And wait no! Before the hating begins! I have more!
Like I have said many times before. This unit have a really fascinating history. So if you read it you shouldnt be so suprised when you see this!
*When fighting against British troops they performe much better than normal because of the fear to be captured and executed for treason.
Iam not sure about this one, it could be changed to the exact opposit that they performe bad because of fighting their own countrymen .
If this is the case then to make them useful to something they will performe much better against soviets because thats the reason they joined up or something
*German units close to the Commonwealth volenteers performe worse than usual because of the feeling of fighting side by side with the former enemy.
SO there, ladies and gentlemen! There you have the commonwealth volenteers! ^^ ( Notice that I took commonwealth so there was no spectacular country named ;P)
Ofc many of this abiletys they are going to have I surely understand is going to be a living hell to fix (coding its called right?) But imo I think they would be a really fun unit to play with
A cheap desperate late war infantry you can put into the battlefield if you really is in need ^^
*Its rather embarrassing how bad my english is , sorry guys :C*
