Hi.
I think I have played a battle or two with OrPo vs Partisans.

Orpo units......infantry and vehicles, use 35 slots so it's nice to hear someone uses them

I used OrPo (about a Coy) worth in scenario 312 (some were trapped in the Cholm pocket). I think they ahve a place in the OOB but I can't say I use them much...

Can't say I have ever used them, or the Luftwaffe troops, but it's fun that they are included. That being said, maybe reducing troops like this down to a few units instead of 35 slots? That way there is still something in the OOB for a scenario designer, but you also free up some space.

I think, that if one is really eager to play Hungarians (not being one of them), he would play them anyway, checking each unit what's inside If not, it means he was not eager enough

IMO: too much unnecessary work, but it's up to you (unless there is someone knowing Hungarian language on the forum, who would translate all names).

As for OrPo - I'd vote for keeping them, maybe in a reduced number (maybe there's no need of two Pz-I and two French Marders differing in colors only - if OrPo used tank destroyers at all...)

Yeah the two pz 1's were something I was thinking of cutting down to one......looking for orpo photos the other day I found a considerable number involving the L 6/40 and not sequence shots where it might have been photos of the same tank from different angles so a L 6/40 ( or if you prefer PzKw 733(i)) would at least be something a bit different that 2 pz 1's that differ only in "a" or "b" BUT the other problem is weapons......if the weapon isn't already in the OOB then it's not going to happen because the German weapons list is full....but I could add it to say......Blue and if anyone just has to have one they can buy it from there

The "problem" at this stage is that ANYTHING added further is going to be minor so even if I did remove the ORPO units ( and I'm not going to....... ) what would replace them would inevitably be units about as useful to 98% of the players.......that's is....... not much use

OK...... "good news" the main weapon was already in the German OOB so we now have one (1) PzKw I ( no a or b just PzKw I ) and a PzKw 733(i)) where the PzKw I A used to be and for those few of you who were bothered by the oversize pz 1 and 2's there are new Icons to scale for the next release
