DWG. Question. I see you have 36 inf squads (1 Inf Bn)in the mech BDE. I thought there was suppose to be 2 Inf Bn's in the BDE.

That's 36 squads in the armoured battalion. The Brigade is the armoured battalion ...

No idea. It's a question I've had as well.

My intuition is they need light infantry formations as well as motorised given the kind of territory they need to fight in, but I've no idea if KNIL saw it that way,

CAMs simply won't work, there is no way to simulate the fact that the planes can not be recovered by the launching ship in game.

Both types were quickly replaced in the Atlantic when numbers of CVEs appeared. The small number of obsolescent aircraft were never intended to fight off multiple attack aircraft or enemy fighters. If you want to simulate this in the Pacific Theater ...

Been doing some research of my own. I found that the KNIL had ordered almost 700 Marmon-Herrington tanks, 200 M3 light tanks, some M3 scout cars, and about 100 P39s.

You might be better off with an updated HMS X1 (with fixed engines), rather than trying to fix the Ks, though K26 supposedly fixed most of the problems.

I'm confused. I thought you specifically wanted detail on the 9.2-inch + ships (which I have given)?<br/>
<br/>
If its the 8-inch and 6-inch, designs and thoughts (but not built) then that's much easier to find.
<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE ...

<r> There were a series of designs for 9.2" and 8" cruisers in 1939/40. IIRC Churchill favoured 9.2" due to their good performance in the Great War, but there had been little to no development since, so 8" was a more practical design. These actually got far enough for names to be reserved for ...

I would not be surprised if the Admiralty put a use spec of turbines in a 1920s requirement. So a contemporary tripple expansion engine installation might get you to 22 kts, but a contemporary turbine might get you to 25 kts.

<t> If you want something earlier than the TPCs and the Winchester Castle conversions, then my pet design is to gut the two old protected cruisers Powerful and Terrible and stick a set of Marksman class machinery in each to get an extra couple of light carriers roughly the size of Hermes.

<t> While there's some suggestion the order for the G3s may just have been a treaty gambit, if you postpone the conference for a year, then there may (or may not), have been significant progress on them. The Conference gave us the tonnage for Nelson and Rodney because IJN and USN would then have 16 ...

<t> Stalled on this at the moment - too many other things going on to sit down and make some progress, but got through the first month. Major comment is that naval AI may be too aggressive - it sat three light carrier groups just off the wharf at Trincomalee, so the Eastern Fleet destroyers had a ...

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>The similarity to apocryphal infantry references is too close to ignore. Support weapons, nominally held by Bn HQ Co may have been held by “D” (support) Co. When more Fiji volunteers came available, those support platoons may well have been moved into HQ Co and D Co ...
