Atheory's Project: PzB-Normandy Campaign

The working concept for squads:

If I remove platoons, each inf company would have 9-12 gruppe units. With an additional 3-6 as replacement units if so warranted. These would be named so they could combine into actual platoon or full company size units.

The oob would resemble something like this:

1/I/Gren-Regt.919
1./zug/1/GR919
2./zug/1/GR919
3./zug/1/GR919
4./zug/1/GR919
5./zug/1/GR919
etc...to 9.

2/I/Gren-Regt.919
1./zug/2/GR919
2./zug/2/GR919
3./zug/2/GR919
4./zug/2/GR919
5./zug/2/GR919
etc...to 9.

If I were to strip away the company structure, the battalion in my view would be void of any real structure, yet permit a broader use of the replacement system.

it would look like

I/Gren-Regt.919
1./zug/I/GR919
2./zug/I/GR919
3./zug/I/GR919
4./zug/I/GR919
5./zug/I/GR919
6./zug/I/GR919
7./zug/I/GR919
8./zug/I/GR919
9./zug/I/GR919
10./zug/I/GR919
etc...

I would only remove the company structure if you were remaining with platoon.

If going to squad then you would do this all at company level as you suggest.

For graphics. You can copy an image in a folder and rename it to your new component name and it will be used.

My personal take for overall ease is that I would not do any excessive OOB changes (new components etc) but rather adjust the PDT to your desired level and add your new replacements at platoon level and try a few situations.

This is the path of least change and allows you to use existing work as a starting point. Anything else means a completely new (and large) project.

Always better to try a few things than biting too much off initially.
