I am asked every now and then about realistic forces for CM scenarios being designed. I also have many questions, and sometimes the searching for information can be rather daunting. Being this is a wargaming site, it might be nice to have some examples of different army organizations. The Proving Grounds Website has a good research area and theBlitz could as well, if there is a desire for it.
Following is an example of an early war German Heer ATG Battalion. I believe it to be fairly accurate. Feel free to correct, and add anything that is missing or miss typed by my 4 thumbs.

German Antitank Battalion (Mot.)

1st Antitank Gun Co.
8x 37mm ATG teams
4x 28mm ATR teams(4x platoons /w 2x guns & 1x ATR per platoon)
             6x LMG teams

2nd Antitank Gun Co.
12x 37mm ATG teams (4x platoons /w 3x guns per platoon)
6x LMG teams

3rd Antitank Gun Co.
12x 37mm ATG teams (4x platoons /w 3x guns per platoon)
6x LMG teams

1 Cavalry Bicycle Recon Co.
1x Recon Infantry Co. (3x platoons /w 3x squads per platoon)
3x 60mm Mortar teams
2x HMG teams
Very good idea Thumbs_up

As I do not feel an expert in that particular field I remain in silence for now. But if anyone is interested in Polish OOBs in 1939 or 1944/45 please feel free to ask.

Best regards

If a person were to try to come up with a '39 Polish scenario, what armor and weapons could be used in place of as CM does not represent them?
Infantry AT Battalion 1939:
20mmx12
(37mmx12+6LMG)x3
Trucks

Tank Division 1941-2:
(50mmx6 + 37mmx4 +6LMG)x3
Trucks



Thank you.
