I concur with your numbers. There should be 36 Teams per Regiment, not 18 as there was a second group.

Be careful with your panzershreck accountability. Each Regiment was authorized a Panzerzerstoerer Company that had a total of 36 PzS Firing Teams (3 man team w/Panzerschrek) with an additional 18 launchers (not teams) in supply reserve. Number of Panzerschreks does not equal a Panzerschrek squad ...

It is correct.

I don't see a handful of unit changes having such a dramatic impact on the game. The Soviet Brigades were made this way for gameplay improvements specifically to address having too many Soviet units on the map so we made those brigades either support units or multi-role.

So, I will leave this to ...

It is too big of a unit to be support as its nearly 8,500 men strong. Generally, regiments and battalions are support or multi-role and brigades are now generally combat units.

I will take a look at that for the next update.

AG A - Part I - Race for the Caucasus:

Airgroup #063, 3(H)AufklarGr 11, it starts with no planes, no pilots and no nationality. It disappears though next turn (not withdrawn - guess just invalid or disbands automatically)

Because the first week is so dynamic, some of the units are placed where they were shipped during the first week rather than where they started. This may or may not be the case.

They shouldn't be like that. I will look through them.

Soviet ski brigades are now support units only?
TOE 2289 and 2290 are set to support only, not multi-role or combat, but they appear as on-map counters in several scenarios???
There is an Axis on-map support unit as a counter in the ...

Askey shows that the 7Pz and 20Pz were authorized 54 Panhards but had 95 on hand at the start of Barbarossa. No idea how many were sitting around in depots. Dennis and Jim usually works those figures.

Because I didn't create a special OB for the two divisions. They use the four slots that would normally be occupied by German made armored cars.

You hit the nail on the head. More personnel does not necessarily mean more combat power. I built the Alpine Division using Niehorster and Nazfiger so really there is no real increase in combat power but the support elements were boosted so that the divisions have 14,750 men. Essentially, the change ...

From Lexicon Der Wehrmacht: Im April 1943 wurde damit begonnen, die aus Rußland zur Auffrischung ins Reich verlegten Teile der SS-Polizei-Division zusammen zu fassen und zu einer SS-Panzergrenadier-Division umzugliedern.

The Division was beginning to be transformed into a Panzergrenadier Division ...

It was a design decision to leave commanders unassigned to HQs after the first couple of months. Either let the AI or players choose their commanders when the HQs arrive. Some of commanders are already serving in other capacities when the campaign begins. I don't know if this is still true but ...

Most of the reinforcing HQs that arrive later in the game do not have assigned commanders.

There was a deliberate design decision not to include self defense LMGs in OBs. If we added them, they would get thrown into every single combat action and these LMGs were used for emergency defensive purposes only.

Something to chew on.

The 2.0 update is a comprehensive review of all Axis OBs and is culmination of several years’ worth of work. I spent time going through German published sources on KSTNs, Kriegsgliederungs and the excellent work of Niehorster and Askey which go into tremendous detail based on ...

The motorized 88mm's were mainly part of the Motorized Mixed Flak Battalions in the Motorized Flak Regiments. Most of the pure heavy flak battalions were either static or partially motorized at best.

We discussed in the past the possibility of making the Panzer Aufklarungs Battalions as SUs attached to their parent panzer divisions. The PzAufklarungs Battalions have a wide variety of equipment that would free up enough slots for the remainder of the division. Its an idea that would take a lot of ...

The Sdkfz 251/16s and Flamm Panzers are another victim of limited Ground Element slots in an OB entry. OB entries are capped at 32 Ground Elements so some compromises have to be made. The 251/16s are represented in the Tier 1 Panzer Divisions and the Flammpanzers are also represented in the Tier 2 ...

I think it is supposed to represent a Panzergrenadier Squad that has an Sdkfz 251 armed with a rear facing AAMG. Because of a shortage of slots in the OBs, these ground elements have been removed from the newer revised OBs completely.
