Have just discovered a detailed 21. PzDiv strength report for the 29.12.41 which indicates that the MG-Bataillon 8 was authorized 10 SPW (Sd.Kfz. 251) - 3 on hand and 7 missing. That puts paid to my theory, and supports Lannes' first post. And another peice of the giant puzzle has been found.

The numbers:
first number: on hand, (in brackets: authorized)
251/6 x 0(1) : Hqs, 21st Panzer Division
251/6 x 0(1) : 200. Armored Signal Battalion
251/6 x 0(1) : 200. Armored Engineer Battalion
251/7 x 0(6) : 200. Armored Engineer Battalion
251/1 x 3(10): 8. MG Battalion

But, this is 8/9 months after arrival. No idea of the average life expectancy of an armored halftrack in North Africa ... Maybe the 250's were replaced by 251's somewhere along the line?

I love this stuff ...

Leo

@Keltos01

What other, if any, WW2 stuff are you adding?

Do you have a quick & dirty list of what vehicles are in this mod?

Thanks!

Thanks for all the work. It looks super interesting. We have been missing your update the last month or so. Everything fine on your side?

Mod looks great and I'd love to play, but I can't quite figure out every folder to drop files in. Any quick install directions you could provide us? There are some obvious folders to copy and drag over into Data, but lots of small .jpgs and .dae? files that aren't in obvious (to me) folders. Any help would be appreciated. Seems like a real labor of love and I only wish I could figure out the install!; )
