Default Re: British Commando Units

Redcoat,

Interesting, 14 men per section.

I think one of the problems is that a standard Commando Troop is hard to pin down. Flexibility was built into their organization, and would be changed depending on the mission.

My main concern, with the current setup, is the one officer responsible to rally nine sections! This isn't the USSR ;-)

It seems like Commando troops should be officer heavy. A troop was really a stripped down company, not a platoon with all sorts of add-ons.

I can live with one officer if it's only 5 sections; but this elite unit is handicapped in SP.

cheers,
Cross
