Hello !
Je vois que deux noms sont utilisés pour les planeurs dans KGS Cholm.
L'historique parle de "Goliath", mais la note de véhicule du fascicule de règles parle de "Gotha 242".
Les deux noms sont-ils valables...
Robin, bientôt interné au Gotham City Asylum.

c. Types of Gliders
Up to the present time the DFS-230 mentioned above is the only troop-carrying glider that has been identified as carrying assault troops during operations. The Gotha-242 (see following sketch), which has often been referred to as one of the principal troop transport gliders, is used almost entirely for carrying freight. This high-wing, dual-controlled glider is reported, however, to be capable of carrying 21 fully equipped men in addition to 2 pilots.
GERMAN GLIDER -- GOTHA-242
The Merseburg, which has been mentioned as a tank-carrying glider, has been estimated to accommodate 40 to 50 men, while the Goliath is veritably the giant glider that its name implies. This twin-fuselage glider is believed to have a wing span of 270 feet and a wing area of 7,500 square feet, and to carry 17 to 20 tons or 140 fully equipped men, 70 in each fuselage. These gliders are in a more or less experimental stage and are therefore not considered for the purpose of this discussion as a part of the Geschwader organization.
Apparemment, le Goliath, c'est un gros mastodonte avec 2 fuselages (au stade du prototype) alors que le Gotha est un planeur standard :

Excellente réponse de Grosbil.
Toutes mes félicitations

Donc, il y avait les deux à Cholm, mais seulement le Gotha apparaît dans les scénarios et CG?
-
Je n'ai pas encore lu les règles mais, vu le dessin du planeur sur le pion, je dirais oui

... et l'historique parle d'un Goliath 242. 8-O
