THE PROBLEM: Time and time again I am faced with this horrible SPMBT problem as I'm sure some of you have also faced.
I go to the buy screen and I see light tank companies, heavy tank companies, mbt companies, RECON AFV/jeep companies, support infantry companies, normal infantry companies, etc. (The last two examples are the meat of my question).

I know that I (Lt. Col.) am in charge of 3 combat companies and myself (the invisible headquarters company)

When I buy my three Infantry companies for example do I buy one infantry RECON company, one infantry company, and one one heavy infantry support company or two infantry RECON and one infantry or three RECON or 3 infantry or 3 support? What should I do?
My advice is throw accuracy into the trashcan. Buy the equipment you need to do what YOU want to do. So what if your force depicts historical accuracy or not.

If you simply must be accurate,then go with pre-made scenerio's
as they tend to be more historically accurate.
Nobodies going to arrest you for being historically inacurate.

Try to focus on enjoying the game rather than beating yourself up for nothing.
