i think he is concerned more with the retreat point, not the reinforcing part. agree with movable medic truck though. would hate to see it able to creep up.
I think....maybe it was a little unfair to take the analogy too far...... the basic point remains, that irrespective of the retreat point, all armies are able to reinforce on the field, with the properly chosen units. The Major (USF) can adjust position; the OKW Battlegroup cannot. The half tracks from Ostheer and SU are perfectly adaptable, and can be repositioned at will to reinforce (if they survive)
So, how important is the retreat point? (A vCoH adaptation from 'the Captain'). As Bas suggests, it has the unfortunate effect of encouraging blobbing f0r the 2 WFAs. This is your point, also, I think.
I was not part of the original WFA Alpha-but from what I read subsequently , there was something very bad in OKW- which was driving off committed CoH2 Alpha volunteers- and which resulted in a big last minute change to OKW. Maybe Ciez can assist? (If I had to guess, it was that OKW trucks were portable -but I may be wrong)
