Daunted by Long Campaign force selection

[Falcon1]

If you would prefer a company size core force, like I do, first set the map to 20 high by 40 wide. Then pick your FO, then the leg company. Then a scout section, MG section, mortar section, AA section, and Inf-AT section if not included with the company. Then a tank or Stug section. If you want to simulate an armored unit, then take a tank platoon instead of the section. (two platoons for US and Russian).

I usually use support points for the off board artillery, and an engineer platoon if attacking. On defense use support points also for some AT guns and extra MG.
