Is it actually legal to buy "Extra Panzer" support for a zombie/gorilla platoon, allowing you to get a support choice you otherwise wouldn't have access to?

I just saw that as well.

Hm, good point. I guess I need to fix that so you can only take a support you normally could have taken.

Neither the Axis Gorilla Platoon led by Markus nor a Zombie Platoon led by Totenmeister are allowed any platoon upgrades whatsoever.

You're the guys who are supposed to be fighting this battle,you don't even know where in the hell it is! Well I'll *tell* you where it is! It's 30 miles beyond where you thought it was, Booker!

No, I'm actually asking. I no those specialized platoons cant ordinarily take support choices, but I am unsure if you can circumvent that restriction by buying them a platoon upgrade. It would be nice if you could, allowing you to throw a Heinrich with them to cause suppression before the zombie onslaught begins.

Oh, hey, btw. It would be nice to have a button to reset all field or perhaps a reset at the platoon level.

Also, nice work.

Pages 132 and 134 say that neither of the platoons shall receive said platoon upgrades but must otherwise obey Axis platoon rules.

However, you could have another platoon with walkers, levy the Axis Extra Panzer Support upgrade, provide a screening action and then conduct a passage of lines with the gorillas screaming forward past the walkers.

This is fantastic!

Can we get the option to add more than two platoons? Or am I missing something. I am using IE8.

Change the maximum # of points and it should let you do more.

Yeah, I did that. I changed it to 450, 500 and 1200. No effect. Adjust fire. Over.

Fixed. Yet another IE event difference :-(

Thanks for reporting it!

That's an easy change; I assume it's the same for Action Jackson's Paratroop platoon… I'll do that tonight.

No problem with the report. Action Jackson operates the same.

Thanks for providing this utility! :)

No. Page 115, Extra Panzer Support…

"The walker must be of a type normally available to the platoon as a support unit."

"I have met with death... she is afraid!"

Yes, please share it around freely!

On another note, I had a game of DW last night which ran long so i didn't get much time to work on the builder; I've got fixes pending deployment for the Platoon Upgrades with special platoons, and Extra Panzer Support limiting the panzer to a select list. I'm working on much better warning feedback for duplicate heros and excess heroes (orange /! icon in the point column with a hover-over tooltip describing the problem).

…

You guys may appreciate this: In my game last night, I had Ozz 117 behind a Sturmkonig, but Ozz had already taken 3 damage. I hit the Sturmkonig with a Long Tom, and set it on fire; I was the Reacting player, so my opponent backed up the flaming Sturmkonig over Ozz, causing a Spray/1 against Ozz… and successfully damaging him. Ozz rolled 1,1,2 on his armor rolls… and died a flaming death :-(

Great, I'll post this afternoon and let people know to look for updates. (a last updated date/version no. on the App would be helpful there.)

I love flaming tank over-runs!
