Everything is someone's fault. Now we know who that someone is!

harald - do you happen to have handy the number of 6.5mm MG's on the TOE of a KNIL Regt ? FYI each Squad assumes 2xMMG so let me know if you have the data please

each Rifle Squad had 1 Madsen LMG, since the Regt had 90 squads this makes 90 Madsen LMGs.

each Regt had 3 Bn, each Bn had 1 MG company, each MG Coy had 3 platoons of 4 Vickers MMGs each, so a Bn had 12 and the Regt had 36 Vickers MMGs

TO/E KNIL Regiment 1941
90x KNIL Rifle Squads
36x Vickers MMGs
18x 80mm Mortars
6x-9x 20mm AT Rifles
6x 47mm AT Guns
9x 12.7mm AAMGs

Thanks we use 2 MMG's per section and ignore LMG's as they are included in section firepower so that 18 KNIL Vickers Sections

That about the most important question then - When ?

Is that "Pekanbaroe" in central Sumatra?

Yes! But in all of my sources it's called Pakanbaroe (indonesian: Pekanbaru). Renamed stock-base Bankha (fantasy-name?) as Pakanbaroe, because its connected with western sumatra by road. Removed oil/resources/manpower and the port facilities though. Bankha could be Bengkalis, too. But I doubt that todays oil facilities were present in the 1940s, they aren't mentioned in my sources and the KNIL defended every oil well....

There were oil wells at Djambi, so i moved the oil/resources/manpower there.

Wonder why there is an apparent relation between the demands of certain posters, and their unwillingness/inability to provide any info on their personal profile page?

Some folks contribute a lot to the forums and we get familiar with them, while others seem to be sharpshooters from the "gitgo".

Honest observation.

Another observation is that their date of registration to the forum often coincides with the demise/public "calling out" of past trolls.
