Low Ammo OOB

[Cross]

Now I'm looking forward to the "low-infantry smoke" OOB as your next project... :)

Hi Fred, I've not done any research on the smoke ammo load-outs. I have come across some information in my reading though.

I found an excellent source (citing a 1942 manual) for a British section that had them carrying 4 smoke grenades. In SP, regular British infantry sections I think get only 2 or 3 with HQ sections getting 2 to 5. I think British paras get 1 or 2 more. But the British may be an exception for smoke grenades.

How many smoke grenades do you think typical squads should get, and how would this change for different nations or troop quality? And do you have any resources or anecdotal support; or would this be more of way of suppressing a gamey aspect of SP?

I guess if SP infantry smoke grenades are considered way too effective, you could take the approach that infantry smoke hexes require 2 grenades to achieve, and then halve the smoke grenade allowance based on that logic?
