Jagdkamp!
"Jagdkampf"
The "Jagdkampf" units (not to be confused with the "Jagdkommando" Commando troops)were specilaly trained "local" milita soldiers that were part of specific defence territories that were categorised as "area defence zones", areas which were not defended by mobile (armored) troops but only by delaying forces that had two jobs: delay the enemy advance by harassement and, once occupied, combat the enemy via guerrilia war (for which a huge network of supply and shelter bunkers was built). Thus these units were dedicated "stay-behind" guerrilla force that in Europe can only be compared to the Norwegian Home Gaurd units. Their training level and motivation was comparativly high. Over 22 BNs of such infantry were could have been activated under 24hours.
Note: These untis were goupped in "Jagdkampf BNs" however would never deploy over a company at a time, and seldom even a platoon, hence the platoon formations are used. Also, due to variety of tasks, they sometimes used very interesting "ancient" equipment, if necassary.
All troops should be categorised either as scouts (due to their emphasis on concealment) or rangers
"Jagdkampf" Platoon (AT)
This represents a classic "spitzenbekämpfung" (spearhead delay") force. They would simply stop the reccon elements and force the unit to deploy, and then retire.
Here again, "old" and "new" units, as with "Landwehr"
Exp:0, Moral:+3
1 x Command Section: (5 men)
Stg-77, sniper rifle, Pistol, Grenade
3 x “Jäger” Squads ( 8 men)
(as currently listed: Stg-77, MG-72, LAW (3), Grenade)
1 x Sniper SSG-69 (1 man)
2 x CG Teams
"Jagdkampf" Platoon (DA)
Core duty included direct-action missions against HQ units and as well as ambush functions. In this case, for "old" units, the Stg-59 was NOT taken as it was too heavy, instead, the M1 Carabine and together with the MP40 SMG (!)
1 x Command Section: (4 men)
Stg-77, Pistol, Grenade
2 x "Jagdkampf" Squads (8 men) NEW: Stg-77, MPi-69 (SMG)/ OLD: m1 carabine, MP40 SMG, BOTH LAW (3), Satchel Charge
2 x "Jagdkampf Fireteam" Squads (4 men) (2x MG-72/42, Stg-77, gernade)
2 x CG Teams
2 x Sniper
"Jagdkampf" Scout
Needs to be included simply b/c other countries seem to have something similar.
Exp:0, Moral:+3
1x "Jagdkampf Scout" Section (3 men), Stg-77, Sniper rifle, grenade PLUS RADIO
"Jagdkampf" Observation bunker
Exp:0, Moral:+3
These poor sods got extremly well camoflogued 2-man bunkers that were in effect invisble and - given that they were supposed to stay there for many days at a time, miserable.
1x "hidden observation bunker" tbd(2 men), Stg-77, gernade, radio, POSSIBLY FO function, tbd
I have debated adding a single 81mm motor, as was often the case, however worry about ye old gameplay. Howeve they were very important, so maye we should add a "Jagdkampf" 81mm motor unit as well (independant)
