Ok we have player controllable Naval Units. Why not Player Controllable Ground units? Say two per Team, one Infantry one Armored. Infantry would have light MG types arms that would work as flak and anti vehicle fire and also artillery (or you could have a third one be an Arty BN) which would work like a CA gun (or just DD gun if you prefer). The Armored BN would be a formation of tanks that would have same guns as Pnzr, and mebbe a couple Osties too. These would be controlled exactly like the CV group and would be used just to attack enemy bases. However when these were destroyed they would be slower to respawn and when "captured" would instead go away for a couple hours, since having these would be too tough. Not sure how you would handle these in island map. Could give them their own transports (basically have them turn into ships when moving between islands). Army did have its own Navy type transport system (small landing craft and large transports) so not totally silly, and it would make for fun as well trying to sink them in transit. If you wanted you could have more of them and make them weaker so that more people could play with them as well. Naturally you could spawn GVs in these formations, just like you can spawn GVs at a port ( but no PTs unless its in middle of sea transport?). Thus an Infantry BN or Tank BN would be a way of taking a base just as a CV is ( or will be when you add landing craft to the CV).
