It could be quite boring for the Bergetiger player because he only has the task of repairing. How is he supposed to get cp rewards if he can't kill anything?

I'd set it up like this:

Tiger Ace
Jagdpanther
Panther
(Brummbär)

@Dennis: Nice ideas

...When did the idea of supply trucks come in? ???

And if this is going to be set on the Western front, the allies should get access to both American and British units. Or, you could totally mix it up, and throw the Soviets in there too.

As i said before, the Bergetiger player should get access to the most abilities. That is the support role, after all. It could call in Henschels and such.

The Allies should get free tanks.

Berge player can call in PG squads. He can also get mines, goliaths and S-Mines. Or he could just crush enemies :D. You make a good point though. Maybe make the CPs gain passively thoughout the game, rather than based off kills. It wouldn't be a Tiger hunt if there were panthers in there would it? :P

Maybe instead of Jagdtigers, have the Jagdpanther as the AT/tanking role. I like having the berge in there though. Promotes the team aspect. Lots of people like playing the healer.

If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

What use would Command Points be?

I described some command tree ideas earlier.

Give the berge an effective MG, just like Axis vet2 ones, but crushing might also work :P
Agreed with Panthers, but what do you think about the Brummbär thing (when Ostheer is released), it could do the heavy support role. I'd also think about a player controlling two Panzer IIIs because together with one Tiger they formed a Tigerzug in 1942 or so.

I don't think Company Commanders are necessary. Although it can't hurt to look into including them, if they would fit.

I think A.I. controlling some lesser tanks would be cool. Just for some support. Machine guns, however, would be unnecessary. This is a tanks vs tanks game, after all.

Why? Rangers, Recoilless Rifle Airbornes, ATGs, Piats and on and on can do the same thing and that's what variation means.

Also thought about it when I wrote down Brummbär, but then I realized there was a clear NO from the devs towards its inclusion in EF.

Don't misunderstand us ;D... we are not going to include such units to EF meaning that they won't be for normal gameplay, but that doesn't exclude them to be on a different game type.

As long as we have a model :P.
Mors Indecepta

Might controls everything, and without strength you cannot protect anything. Let alone yourself...

Maybe, if you beg very politely, HGN mod will give you their Sturmtiger :P

So there's a chance, blackbishop, that you could bring the Jagdtiger back for this game type? The larger the Tiger variety available, the better!
