SP has two different types of Commando:

Army Commando
Royal Marine Commando

I looked into the historical organization of Commando Troops and found that SP has quite accurately represented 1944 Royal Marine Commando Troop (though I wish the expensive sniper was optional add on). But I think the Army Commando Troop could be improved.

Currently, in SP, an Army Commando Troop [300] consists of 9 units (one officer leading 9 sections):

1x HQ (4 men, officer, Lt)
4x Support (4 men)
4x Sections (11 men)

Historically, the Army Commando Troop looked more like this:

1x HQ (10 men, officer, Capt)
2x HQ (2 men, officer, Lt)
4x Section (13 men)

Tough to model the above in SP because of the 2 man HQ sections. But here’s two options that would much improve the current situation:

A.
1x HQ (13 men, officer, Lt)
4x Section (13 men)

B.
1x HQ (10 men, officer, Capt)
2x HQ (4 men, officer, Lt)
4x Section (11 men)

I think one of the above would make the Army Commando Troop far more SP appropriate, and would cause them to be the more fearsome force of their reputation.

I realize that OOB changes can impact scenarios, but hopefully there’s a way to add or improve these units.

Cheers,
