Toggle Tanks/Infantry for Tank or Infantry Battles Only

Ok, I had asked if there was a way to use the "Reward Units" panel to enable/disable all Infantry/Tanks (Or specific types of infantry). And a comment from Dragon93 was and quote: We could look into an infantry only Challenge. If there's interest. This was on the http://www.moddb.com/mods/coheastern-front comments board and there need to be a reason that they should/should not do this. And that is your vote!

Now I bet if a lot (and I mean A LOT) of followers to vote YES on this poll, I bet it would be a great addition to Eastern Front!

Unbalanced, boring. ACs and light tanks are the most fun units ingame.

what paciat said is true
axis infantry is major imba vs allies infantry (without light vehicles and stuff)

Right, imagine vet2 Grens vs. Tommies, Rifles or Consripts. Axis can save their whole fuel to vet their inf early. So it was an interesting idea to just exclude specific units, that there is balance again.

Not really, Ami BAR/flamer combination with sniper support dominate axis infantry. It's usually the threat of axis teching to tanks which stops that. Infantry only matches are stupid anyway. Especially since they're usually bridge maps so it's basically hours of mortaring each other.

See, I'd love them to exclude specific units, but I didn't say there should be an Infantry only challenge, that was Dragon93. I'd love to exclude certain units such as the Stug, or Bren Carrier. (in my opinion anyways)

Or... Exclude certain units that create a big threat with others (Sniper W/MG+Mortar) together. Taking out one of those units will (sniper support for example) would create an ability to win against that combonation.

Ehmm... Dragon didn't say it should be made. Just that could be made if there's enough interest... so this isn't a must by now.

I can see the appeal of an infantry only challenge in CoH, but it would require an entire mod of it's own to be decent. You'd have to make a load more infantry types, change the balance of the game totally and be quite clever to make it work. If you just tossed in the vanilla CoH infantry on their own it wouldn't balance well since vehicles are being taken into account currently, and it might be quite dull (PE would basically only have one infantry type plus doctrine units).
