Default Re: Modeling Polish 10th Motorized Brigade

Had the wrong mg, changed it to the wz.30. Also, since there is some disagreement as to the number of LMGs, added two more units so that unit class could be used to select 2 or 4 LMGs per platoon. The units added are 800 thru 805, and formations added are 500 thru 502. Both ranges were blank in the stock OOB so shouldn't cause any problems.

With the lack of hard data, did a bit of number crunching on the LMGs. The standard rifle platoon has 1 LMG (1 per 60 men roughly). The cavalry platoon has 1 LMG (1 per 30 men roughly). The bicycle platoon (per Niehorster's data) has either 2 LMGs or 4 LMGs which would give either (again rough numbers) 1 per 30 men or 1 per 15 men; the first proportion 'sounds' more correct or at least in line with other units. The 10th motorized drew from both mounted rifle and lancer regiments further complicating the picture. It would seem reasonable that despite their ancestory the two motorized infantry regiments in the 10th would share a common structure and TOE.

Updated modified oob attached.
