Default Re: Modeling Polish 10th Motorized Brigade

I recently asked the owner of the polish 1939 armour website "Pibwl", Michal Derela, regarding the TOE/OB of a rifle squadron and he provided me with what i believe to be the final word on the matter. The info came from a book written by a platoon commander in the Warzaw Motorised Brigade and is as follows:

Rifle Squadron
HQ Section (commander and 10 men, with 1 LMG and 8 Carbines)
Vehicles: 1 utility terrain car, 2 motorcycles and 2 motorcycles w/sidecars

Supply Section (19 men, with 1 LMG and 16 carbines)
Vehicles: 5 trucks and kitchen trailer

3 Rifle Platoons, each with:
Plt HQ (commander, deputy and runner)
Section (6 men with 1 LMG)
Section (6 men with 1 LMG)
Section (6 men with 1 LMG)
Section (6 men with 1 LMG)

Total for each platoon:
Vehicles: 2 trucks and one motorcycle w/sidecar
Men: 1 officer and 29 men
Weapons: 4 LMGs, 1 ATR, 26 carbines
