I just now got around to this item on my "to-do" list so I apologize up front for not dealing with this when it was posted

Shan..... you really didn't check very many OOB's when you wrote this did you ? Did you check the MC units in the Slovak Republic OOB ? Canada ? Czechoslovakia ? Hungary ? All have size 2 MC units. How about Sweden or Bulgaria or Manchukuo ? All have size two MC units as do France, Vichy France, Japan, the POL Motorcycle in the Norwegian OOB, Yugoslavia, Belgium, Romania and Netherlands.

So......Germany is hardy "the only ones having size 2" MC units is it ? Half the nations in the game have MC units that are size 2

The general rule of thumb used was if over 10 men the size would be 2 and under that 1. There were some exceptions and those are being looked at but there are nearly 4 dozen MC units in the game right now with size 2

It's fine to debate the merits of changing this. That's what the forum is for. The concept of breaking the MC units down to carry units that can dismount to fight is interesting and this game is made to be adapted and modified but would it be TOO MUCH to ask before making sweeping statements like " German MC sections are AFAIK the only ones having size 2" that at a BIT more effort be put into checking the other OOB's first?
