Yes, but why are they inconsistantly named in CHS or are they indeed consistent with history?
BTW I don't think an RCT could do combined weapons. They had typically an Inf Rgt, Art Bn, and some Recce, but typically not a Tank Bn under the command of the RCT commander. Normally, the smallest unit for combined weapons is the brigade.

I noticed that there is no oil production in Perth (there is in standard scen 15). Is this by design?

ORIGINAL: Jim D Burns

I think Perth's (and other bases) oil is now auto-supply that cannot be captured or bombed. I'd have to double check to be sure, but I think I remember seeing daily oil as an oil 0/# now.

Ok just checked and Perth is 0/150 oil a day, so it has been changed to auto-supply.

American army RCT's DID have their own armor, (it was divided by regiment, not division), and here is a 1950 TOE which is pretty much the same as it was in 1942..

Here is another very good source for TOE info, (including some Japanese info)..
The American TOE info will not always be consistent in WW2 sources because it changed at least 4 times DURING the war !!!
My knowledge of RCT's is due to my father being an officer in a RCT, and tanks were attached to them at the regimental level thruout the entire war..

BTW, I have a VERY detailed American Army division OOB referance book if anybody would like for me to look up anything ??
It lists by unit designation the units which were usually attached, and when..
(Some units were VERY ad hoc, and at least one American infantry company reportedly had it's own platoon of M4 Shermans for the entire war before it was "found out" !!!)[:D]

OK. It will take me 12 hours or so to get it uploaded (I am at work right now and cannot do it until I get home). I will make an announcement when it is uploaded.

So for anyone that has a beta copy - please let us know ASAP if you find any problems.

Be carefull here, the US INF TOE for Korea was not the same as the the TOE. Many of the units that were organic in 1950 were non-organic duing WWII. Indeed you might want to look at this document:
http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/books/Lineage/M-F/index.htm
This study examines the evolution of the US Army Divisions (INF,ARM,AB,LI) from WWI to late cold war. In WWII Armor, Tank Destroyer, Anti-Aircraft, 4.2" mortar, and additional artillery units were attached to Divisions on an as needed basis by Corp and Army HQ's. By 1950 it was determined that these units should indeed be organic, thus the 1950 TOE.
