![]() ![]() That takes up a lot of resources and time. You have to arm them properly with bazookas or Browning Automatic Rifles to give them a chance against the German squads. The American squads start out with rifles. The German squads are very well armed with Panzershrecks, the powerful German version of the bazooka, and MG 42 light-machine guns. ![]() Your base keeps on dispatching these replacements during the course of the battle.īut I found there were too many trade-offs. But inside the game, it also costs a lot of points to order new squads from your headquarters. It costs a lot of money to reinforce your company.
