Thanks! That's actually very close to the info I had.
A few questions though:
1. Carl Gustav's and Dragon's weren't used side by side in infantry platoons? Or did some have the Carl Gustav and others Dragons (for some of the time)?
2. So each platoon had (in MBT game terms) 3 inf squads and 1 at team (with either Carl Gustav's or dragon)? Did some formations have 2 at teams (dragon launchers)? (The game gives a platoon 2 launchers and my info says it varied between units).
3. The motorized (YP 408) squads also had the 20 law's (because in the game they don't anymore)?
4. The battallion recce platoon used only YPR's? Or also the M114?
5. Were those independent anti tank companies part of I corps assets or divisison/brigade assets? Btw I didn't know we had AMX's with TOW. I'll check to see if they're even in the game.
Sorry to keep you busy but I'm trying to translate your info into 'game parameters'. You can also just let me know where I can find the info and I'll do the work myself (or part of it at least !  ).

1. We used to have a short period were both were used in a platoon in he mid 1980's
2. No each platoon has 4 infantry groups with same organisation. As post above we call a group a group, 2 groups a section and 2 sections/ 4 groups a platoon in all our units with exception named above.
Only the R/A section (2x YPR 765 PRI )have a dragon team and the E/B section had a dragon team) We had a short period the Garl Gustaf and Dragons.
3. Yes they had same organisation as YPR units.
4. At tank and infantry battalions they had YPR from 1979 until now. Look at first post of difference between recon units.
Since 1992 all recce platoons are the same. 7x YPR 765. 1 platoon commander and 3x a section of 2x YPR 765 PRI
5. At brigade level
Also the AMX TOW was replaced by YP TOW in early 1970
I don’t mind as long as the game gets better
You will not find this info on internet so just ask
