It strikes me as odd that the germans have to build their Westwall via a TO while the french have their Maginot line from the beginning. If the Westwall had been a hypothetical construction like the northern maginot line I'd understand that but the Westwall was constructed from 1936-1940 and with its ~20.000 bunkers, Dragon Teeth barriers and similar obsacles comparable to the french maginot line. It's true that once the germans started building the atlantic wall they striped most heavy weapons from the Westwall to use them in the atlantic wall, but what if the german player want's to keep his Westwall instead of building the atlantic wall ?
A simple solution could be to simulate the static barriers with nuclear waste icons, they slow down every movement and might be good to simulate the difficulties an enemy army had to overcome these barriers. Let the barb-wire remain as a simulation for the still remaining bunkers.
Than, let the german Westwall forts be there from the start but assign them and the atlantic wall forts the same heavy equipment with no production. Deploy the Atlantic forts as empty shells, only filled with some light rifle squads but no heavy weapons. Than the german player can decide whether he'd wishes to disband his westwall forts to fill up the atlantic forts or not!
Pretty please ??
