max core troop

[Cross]

Thanks for the update. Still I find it not to be mutch with just 200 core troops. One rifle company counts as 14 troops for instance, so a maximum of 14 inf companies would be possible as max core. About 4 battalions give or take is the largest formation (considering that a battalion is 3 companies, many early war battalions was 4 companies).
I guess the pbem campaign is more meant that you start of with a very small force and make it grow over the battles to come.

Are you trying to make a whole division your core?

I rarely like to have more than a full battalion as a core. I like to get to know my officers over a campaign, and my brain finds anything larger than battalion a bit of a stretch.

My preference is to improve the equipment/quality rather than the size.

I usually like four companies per battalion, as I think every battalion should have a HQ/Support/Hvy Weapons company. Which means I could still field 3 battalions, which is a Brigade/Regiment sized core.
