RE: How do you go to battle?
I often trie to buy "realistic" formations, and then make a plan. How to deploy the units to have the largest use of their weapons.
As an example the German infantry regiment 1940:
-infantry gun company 6x7,5cm 2x15cm
-anti tank company 12x3,7cm
-engineer platoon
-3x infantry battalion:
-3x infantry company
-machine gun company 12x hmg 6x 8,1 cm mortar
This formation might be supported by parts of the divisional units.
-reconaissance department
-anti tank department
-artillery regiment
-engineer battalion
A formation formation like this can attack a section 3 to 6 km wide or defend a section 4 to 10 km wide.
In attack it can be usefull to support this formation with parts of a tank division.
For WW2 battles I have some good books about formations and tactics, but I only have few informations about realistic formations to play big battles in MBT. Maybe someon knows, where I can get these informations.
