One squad=50 men correct?

Post by Kuniworth »

Is this really accurate? Shouldnt it be something like 100 or maybe 75 men?

I still think the combat-losses is to low regarding squad-casualties.

50 men seems okay to me.

A full strength German infantry division has about 240 squads (IIRC), which would be about 12000 men, which, at least to me, seems quite ok.

Hi ..

Let just say 50 men = 1 Platoon. Seems ok to me.
