Hey @LordPapkin,

The reason for first error with the Veteran Scouts is because it is required to take ALL of the 12. Volksgrenadierdivision command cards when you take ANY of the 12. Volksgrenadierdivision command cards. See the italicized note on the physical card. I have attached a picture for reference. If I have interpreted this ruling incorrectly please let me know and I can make some adjustments. IMG_1222

As for the 512. Schwere Panzerjager Abteilung 2nd Company Command card. I have adjusted the points correctly. Test it out and let me know. It does take about 24hrs to sync to the app. Thank you for submitting a bug report and please let me know if you find any other issues.

Hi @mdcooledge, if my volks company doesn't have scouts i dont need to use this card, you need to use all that are relevant to your force.
So as you see here if i got just regular infantry and mortars i need to use only two out of 4 cards. I next example i have single volksgrenadier platoon and i use single card. Both armies were used during Polish Nationals 2022 image image

@LordPapkin Awesome! Thank you for providing that clarity! I will make adjustments as soon as I can and let you know when they are updated. Again I appreciate your help!

Hey @LordPapkin,

So I am working on this but it is not working as intended. I am starting to believe it might be a limitation/but with BattleScribe. As I have it currently, The vet scouts and vet anti tank cards will not show an error message when taking either of the vet weapons and vet volksgrenadier cards, but it will also not error when you have a scout or anti tank unit in the volksgrenadier company (this is were the BS software isnt working). You will need to remember to manually remember to add those command cards. Also, can you help me to clarify my understanding of these command cards and how they work? As I understand it now, if you take a Volksgrenadier Company and you take the card Veteran Volksgrenadier or Veteran Weapons you must take both because they are Titled to the Volksgrenadier Company? Where as the card Veteran Anti-tank and Veteran Scouts are Titled to their respective units, so only get applied when those units are added to the Volksgrenadier company.

I plan to keep this bug request open in the future for reference as well. Thanks for your help!

Hey @mdcooledge

Disclaimer, English is not my native language so keep that in mind. You got 4 command cards, infantry, anti tank, heavy weapons and scouts. They can be used to upgrade Volksgrenadier Company or single volks platoons in support, we can take infantry as formation support or volks pak40 as antitank in support slot. We cant exclusively upgrade only part of company, we need to upgrade whole company and use all need cards, that can be everything from 1 to 4 but we can also upgrade single platoons that are in our support.

So lets say we have single volks platoon as support, they we need to use only infantry upgrade. Same thing when we have just company with rifle and assault platoons, we just need to use one command card to upgrade infantry. But, lets say with have volks company with anti tank guns and scout, then we need to take three command card, be because we cant upgrade just infantry, we need to upgrade all units in company, for that we use three cards. The most intresting case is when we have volks comapny with some infantry and anti tank guns AND another volks anti tank as support, then we can upgrade just support anti tank leaving whole company with base stats. So in that case we have some regular company supported with veteran antitank, similar case can be with infantry, if we have full strength company ( HQ + 2 assualts, 1 rifle platoon ) we are allowed to take another volks platoon as formation support, when using vet infantry card we can upgrade, comapny ( 4 units), support (1 unit) or both (5 units).

I hope i covered all cases ^^
