Interesting again good stuff at Makasser I have quite similar data in AE

There is one overarching base force for Sulawesi with 3 detachements at Kendari, Makasser and Menado

The one at Makasser is called Sulawesi/III

It has
2 x 75mm CD
15 Av Support
20 x Support
5 x Engineers
3 x KNIL Militia Squad


The Makasser Bn has

36 x KNIL Rifle Sections
24 x KNIL militia Sections
3 x KNIL Vickers Sections
4 x 80mm Mortars
39 x Support

Comparing what I have in AE now to Haralds data it looks like I need to remove about 6 of my Militia Sections and 2 of the Vickers sections

p.s. Harald the reason I have given all these Bns a standard TOE is to allow players the choice of where they deploy the very limited KNIL replacements without having to move whole units and because as a matter of policy I prefer not to have units without TOE's defined.

Sulawesi's former name was Celebes. Did you ever considered to strip the base forces and to give them only Support/Engineer squads?
