Anti-Partisan measures
Another idea I have been looking at is to allow a tech to be researched that partially counteracts some of the partisan effects (if you have a german army of 300+ divisions, that extra 0.2 supply each stacks up). The tech basically reduces the penalties by half, but does take 6 mths or so to research. Additionally, such attacks arent realistic for German divisions everywhere, but (in game) its kinda hard to differentiate between one driving through Germany, and one sitting in Caen as invasion defence.
I also set this tech to allow a new model of militia units - what I would call "Security troops" really. The usual militia units are Home Guard/Volksturm types - young boys, old men, little equipment, etc.. or colonial levees, it seems to me. These Security troops represent things like the German units formed from Soviet POWs, and many of the volunteer units from other occupied areas (eg Anti-Communist volunteers in Yugoslavia). Their equipment tends to be somewhat better - often being the stockpiles of arms and weaponry taken from a defeated enemy, but obviously not up to full Front Line infantry spec. They tend to have little in the way of Artillery, and very little motorisation, but on the other hand, are distinctly better in combat terms than the Volksturm types, I would say - they do at least have halfway decent equipment, and the troops are at least relatively healthy and active.
#1 Security Units

speed_cap_at = 5
speed_cap_aa = 5
I based it on the original infantry spec, and cut down a few bits (Hard attack, build time, etc) - be aware that as a Militia unit it gets fewer upgrades.
Any thoughts ? Tim
