I also want to echo the praise here, and I really want to shout out my appreciation for differentiating the stats on the Panzer Divisions that had Czech tanks v. German ones. A couple things I noticed, though:
1. Why did you choose to exclude Heeresgruppe C and Panzergruppe Guderian from upgrading in the Conference screens? Especially if you take the alternate path, HG C shows up a fair amount and feels underutilized, and PG Guderian feels kind of important to have been skipped.
2. I think there may be an error/bug in the unit carryover from the Dunkirk to the Fall Rot scenarios - I remember clearly having an elite 7th Pz Division with Recon and Pionere steps at the end of Dunkirk, but when Fall Rot started 7th Pz was only veteran with no support battalions. I'm pretty sure this happened to other units in that scenario as well - please check on this.
3. Why do the Panzergruppe have Set Piece attack as an ability? If I recall from what I've been playing, mobile units cannot conduct set-piece attacks, so that makes the ability somewhat pointless on these army groups as presently constructed (maybe you intend to include non-mobile units in the future in these). It feels like swapping that ability for artillery barrage makes sense, so that the mobile units assigned artillery support steps can be used to fuller effect.
4. Scenario Note: In Flanders Cauldron, why not assign all the German units on the Eastern Belgian border to HG C? HG A is way overstretched in land area while HG C is very underburdened. It seems like the Commanders on the ground would have transferred control of at least some divisions and corps to the other Army Group.
(Edit - Added Below)
5. Scenario Note: In the alternate history path, I noticed that the 8th Pz and 10th Pz are slated for both the Scandinavian campaigns and the British Isles. On the one hand, I can understand why that would be, but on the other it seems that with all the available panzer divisions, the Scandinavian campaign would have its own separate panzer divisions assigned (while 8th and 10th prepare and train for Seelowe). The accompanying motorized division changes out (the 13th in Scandinavia and the 29th in Britain), so I'm wondering if it doesn't make more sense to assign two of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, or 6th to the Scandinavian Campaign.
6. Scenario Note: In the Midlands Blitz Scenario, the 15th Infantry Division (GE) is assigned to PzGruppe Kleist instead of Heeresgruppe A. Just want to make sure that was on purpose.
