Re: obat66 Sweden
 

There are alot of outdated pictures:

Rifle section (090.091)
Arm Rifle section (127,128,132)
Recon Section (143)
Mot recon group (146)
Sniper (149,150,152,153,175)
Paratroop sec (154-157)
Partroop team (158-160,163)
Para sniper (161,162)
AT-inf MBT (174)

Uh... I will make a more detailed list later.

Rangers with and without support weapons.
Headquarters
Observer teams
Coastal rangers
Home Guard
etc...

I think the AFV´s and Tanks are covered, its the infantry and different support weapons that is lacking. The OOB itself also need alot of remodelling if we are talking present/future.
There are very few units that has a correct organization due to the recent changes in the defence force. There are alot of new different battalions and changes have been done even down to section level in most cases.

I guess we need to split up the work somehow. Most recent "Reglementen" are published on mil.se, there its easy to get the organisation right, then its just some fine tuning that is left.

Re: obat66 Sweden
 

I agree.

True, but I think it would be cool to add/expend some other pre 1990 formations as well - brigade/battalion recon, engineer company, local defence/territorial/ värnkompni etc.

I'm open to suggestions... I did tinker around some with the OOBs but quit because a friend of mine was doing a much better job... I'll see if I can get him to show up.

Hi there.

Wulfir asked me to get my arse over here, so I did. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Nice to know more people than me see the need for a thorough update of the obat.

I've been wrestling with the 66 for a while now, and decided to completely remake the obat early this year. When I learned that WinSPMBT was coming out I sorta lost my energy for the work since I couldn't be sure the formats would be compatible. But now I'm going full burn since the format didn't change at all (insert Ren and Stimpy happy-happy-joy-joy song as theme).

I'd be interested in contributing my work so far, or gladly accept help in getting the OOB and picklist part sorted out, while Im almost done with my take on the ToE (mainly artillery and AA left to do), or just to be a ballplank to bounce ideas off.

Additions I've made to include but are not limited to, coastal artillery and emplacements, amphibious forces and transports, deeper implementation of NGFS capability, possible layout of the planned airmobile batallion, expanded battlefield sensor list (ARTHUR, ArtE), MP and other rear area security forces.

Oh, and the official designation of the CV90 AMOS has been set to grkpbv 90120 according to mil.se.

Re: obat66 Sweden
 

I agree, the disappearance of Recon formations from the obat are hard to understand. F e the mech units have organic recon that right now drive around in bv206 and tgb11/13, and in the future will use a mix of those and bv208/209 and ptgb6 (Alvis RG-32) that aren't represented. All mot/mech infantry and recon should also be available dismounted. Other units also retain recon formations, usually a company for the individual batallions I believe.

värnkompni

I think that Driftvärnet has been thoroughly disbanded if thats what you're referring to.

Re: obat66 Sweden
 

Hmm... from what I understand vkomp was meant to man various fortifications/defence installations, in a pretty static role.

Mostly older cadres etc local misfits, not held in particulary high regard by the "field army". http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Doubt they are in existance now with the dismantling of the invasion defence.

Re: obat66 Sweden
 

Then you weren't refering to driftvärn at all. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

These formations could already be considered as being present through the various fortifications themselves and the "aux infantry" type formation, right?

Re: obat66 Sweden
 

I guess... what is the aux infantry? Home Guard...?

Re: obat66 Sweden
 

Technicians, mechanics, pencil pushers, depot guards. Armed non-combat enlisted. You know, "malajer"! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: obat66 Sweden
 

Sounds great, and it would be nice if you could upload your OOB so we could get a sneak peek on it and see what we could help with.
I know that there is a ton of changes and addons that I would like to do, but you may have allready done them.
For example adding "all" our "rapid" deployment units as well as future battlegroup elements.
But it would be nice if you could upload your OOB in this thread, and if we could have that one to work from?

Btw, what kind of experience are we together sitting on?

...and what must one do around here to get this thread stickied? Even East Germany have gotten that privilage, and thats not even a country any more! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif
