OOB notes: The Bulgarians have the Norwegian flag as their victory hex flag. The Republican Spanish have the Bulgarian flag. Why do major nation infantry have a infantry speed of 9 to 11 and Minor nations have an infantry speed of 6 to 8? That needs to be addressed.
The Chauchat was a poorly made French WW1 LMG. It was widely exported.

I looked a little at the Norweigian OOB and these observations jumped at me.
Norway didn't have any handgrenades in 1940 unless the allied supplied them later in the campaign.
The ski-units should probably have the Madsen Lmg in the squads now they dont have any Lmg.
The 81mm mortars in the company shouldn't be there, they were at the battalion level attatched directly to the HQ company.
The Norwiegian AA used 75/76 mm AA guns, Hmg AA(the Colt Hmg) and a small number of Bofors 40 mm AA(some bought directly from Bofors and some newly produced under licence in Norway). I have never seen any reference to the 20 mm AA in the OOB.
And now lets get back to playing this great game.

Just a little clarification on something I saw way back on the first page of this topic...
The USMC did use the B-25 Mitchell during WW2 under the designation PBJ-1.
Sixteen Marine squadrons equipped with the PBJ-1 saw action from the Solomon Islands to Iwo Jima (1943-1945).
The C and D models (identical to the B-25 C/D)were first employed in combat, later superceded by the 75mm cannon-armed H. Near the war's end, some J and K models made a brief appearance.
Armament wise, none of the aircraft retained their "stock" configurations after a few months in operational service, as evidenced by the following:
"In VMB-611, we festooned the old barracuda with every device known to ordnance and a few of our own design. We had eight 5-inch rockets, thirteen .50 caliber machine guns (nine firing forward), and a bomb load that ranged from fourteen 250-pound bombs to three 1,000 pounders."
The primary mission of these aircraft was long range interdiction of Japanese shipping, but they were used in support of Army ground troops in the Phillipines and Marines in New Guinea, Saipan, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa.

Yeah its really bizarr and thats probebly the reason that i still remember it, so many years later. It was a long time ago since i read about WeserUberung but some small nuggets of info are still left in my brain.Originally posted by Seth:
No grenades at all?! I mean, I guess I believe you, but that's so bizarre. It's not like they're expensive, or difficult to make. I thought they were something you could count on everyone having.

First of all Great game! I have been enjoying SPWAW ever since the Marathon download (20-some hours at 2.2kbps!)
Seth= man you have been doing some research! Good job and keep it up.
And now for my own little two cents...
RE: The US and the M-1 Rifle. The Army HAD M-1's. By the end of November 1941 there were approx. 430,000 in service. The Marines should not have M-1's until early '43. The only Marine M-1's on the 'canal were "liberated" from the Army when they showed up in '42. The Marines had M1903 Springfields and they also had Johnsons for the Para-Marines and don't forget the POS Reising .45 SMG!
Interesting note, the US forces in the Phillippines (USFIP)were using M-1's (Army units that is) The Japanese used some of these captured M-1's for the basis of their first self-loading rifle the Type 5 (only about 20 made) Also the Phillipine forces were using the "Enfield". The US Model of 1917 Enfield, it was in .30-06 caliber. The Brits also had the original design called the "Pattern -14", but it was in .303 caliber.
Another note, the '03 were retained in service through out the whole war, it was used by both services as a grenade launching rifle because the launcher for the M-1 was not designed until late '44 IIRC.
I forgot who, but someone said something about the M-2 Carbine(the M-2 is select-fire, the M-1 is semi only). The M-2 did not come into use until mid-'45. No M-2's saw service in Europe and highly unlikely that any did in the Pacific....now if we had invaded Japan....well that would be a different story.
I think most of the major OOB things have been listed and I'm hoping for a chance to "scrub" the ver 2.0 OOB's as soon as they become available.
Semper Fi,
Overlord

RE: M-1 as far as when it was in service, here are some numbers.
Total produced:
1937 945 (5 months)
1938 5879
1939 16431
1940 79213
total 102548 (to date)
So, as far as SPWAW is concerned I would think 1940 would be a good year for the M-1 to show up in Rifle squads. There were NEVER enough M-1's to go around, so M1903's should be seen in support units throughout the war esp. Engineers and artillery and MP's.
The M-1 Carbine should show up in late '42. Primarily in gun crews and such, but they invariably found there way to Infantry units.
Hope this info helps.

First, let me say, great game. The Matrix team should be proud of how they have undertaken such a formidable task as producing this game.
Second, Thank you Seth, Voriax, and all others for your research, knowledge, and time; you make the game better for those of us who play it.
Third, I have a suggestion to make that I feel would greatly enrich the gaming experience for those of us who are not experts on WWII military equipment: I have noticed that while the text files corresponing to various equipage exist in in the 'enc' directory of the game, none of these texts are displayed in the encyclopedia. I would hold it a good fortune if these texts were visible in the encyclopedia in future versions of SPWAW, as this makes the units seem less as a collection of numbers and more as actual objects. Further, as several people who have posted on the OoB topic display an in depth technical and historical knowledge of SPWAW's equipment, it might be quite useful to have some of them write some of the text for the encyclopedia.
Just a suggestion, I apologize in advance if this has already been covered.
Cheers,
