Minors do not have "initial forces" per see.ORIGINAL: marcuswatney
I've successfully downloaded the three items in Post 1, including the 30 Set-Up spreadsheet. But where can I find details of Minors' initial forces, force pools and deployment limits?
Thus, I read in the Global War notes that Finland starts with only three corps, but I think I saw somewhere that there are eight actual Finnish units in the counter-set. I'd like to find out what these are, and what deployment limits they are restricted by (if any).
I imagine all the Minors are documented in one place, but at the moment I can't find them.
Minors have a countermix, with a number of dated units.
There simply is a rule that says that when a minor is activated in a given year, all units of that the previous year and the previous ones are setup on the map.
Here is an example :
Poland has this land unit countermix :
1943 Gd ARM
1941 Kutno MECH
1932 Tarnow CAV
1935 Rydz HQ-I
1930 Karpaty INF
1934 Modlin INF
1936 Pomorze INF
1937 Poznan INF
1938 Krakow INF
1938 1 INF
1939 Prusy INF
Res Warsaw MIL
Res Lodz MIL
1940 Narew MOT
So, in 1939 you setup all the 1938 and before units, and you put on the reinforcement track the units from 1940. If Poland survives in 1940, and if its controlling major power decides to include Poland's force pool in its force pool, then its controller may build Polish units (randomely picked amongst all his units).
For the Air units this is similar except that the PiF sourced air units are never present at setup.
For the Naval units, this is similar ecept that this is the units that are 2 years old that are setup, and units from the current and previous years are in either the production circle or the construction pool.
You can download an Excel file that lists all WiF FE units at http://pagesperso-orange.fr/froon/WiF/P ... -PatiF.zip (my website).
From that you can deduce the order of battle of any minor country for any year.
