RE: New game under development (non-Tiller)
While I have not played the game yet I have looked at the OOB. Basically all of the units of a given type and nationally are exactly the same. For example every German Panzer division has the exact same number and type of units: 5000 infantry, 550 halftracks, 75 Mk III, 50 Mk II, 40 37mm AT, 30 105 Art, 30 Mk IV and 20 50mm AT. Even the SS motorized divisions are the same as the regular mot. divisions although their combat values are different.
The same applies to the Russians every tank division has the same number and types of units even those that had no tanks. The values are 100 T-26 and 5 T-34.It seems that they may have just averaged the amount of tanks that were available and spread them evenly out over all of the divisions. The infantry strength of the Russian infantry is 10000 men which IIRC is about 50% to 100% more than the actual divisions had.
Hopefully none of these abstractions affect the way the game plays.
