The M2 50 caliber machinegun

Glenn,
I found those numbers in Stanton, World War Two Order of Battle TOE 7, July 1943. Something to think about for those that like detailed oobs. I happen to agree that large multi army scenarios should not be too detailed for playability purposes. What Army Group commander wants to be mucking around with batalion tactics? (I hope those that do enjoy it.) Having alot of independent companies of different weapons types who cannot combine may accurately define weapons types, but those companies are frailer than units that can combine.
As I tweak the Dark Winter oob, thanks for helping me resist the temptation to get too detailed. I had to twist von Ege's arm to get in Volksgrenadier regimental mortars. (I wanted something they couldnt get across that river without a bridge.) We decided to have all batalions comprised of subunits with the same weapons types, which required fudging, especially for cavalry and Aufklaring units.
