Default Re: Austrian OOB, old and new

You're right, Shan, the Jaeger platoon will be tough.
Two versions can pass as such though: the dismounted platoon (without trucks) and one without CG teams (kind of "Jaeger Plt -AT").
For the motorized version, I'd advise to go about the same way as with the Panzergrenadiere, make an agglomerate command section with 9-10 men and StG/sniper/CG/grenade, and keep a single AT team and a single sniper separate. Leaves room for three trucks.
Now the Pandur platoon is another matter.

Radios is not much of a problem. Command sections are of a separate class that gets high radio rating early on. The average sections are left without much of a chance to get a radio until recent years, and so the platoon must operate within shouting distance (spread over 10 hexes is reasonable for 4 sections), but can operate independently away from HQ.
