Re: Australian tank squadrons
I think what has happened in our OOB is the number of tanks in a troop and the number of troops in a company ended up mixed up in a creative way.
It should have been four troops in a company ( 4x4+2= 18 ) dropping one tank per troop ( 4x3+2=14 ) but we ended up with the fourth troop dropped as well in the late 80's giving the existing 3x3+2=11 which I believe now is part of the problem. Sometime recently they've re-established the 4 tank troop but changed to three troops so we sort of had it right but at the wrong time and in the wrong order
For obvious reasons I wait until he gets back with the date of the switch back to the four tank troop and when the three tank troop was introduced before making further changes
