Greetings gentlemen,
Before you quit with the Canadian OOB, read this. This will make Canada more interesting for tank battles!

Canada Acquires 120 Leopard 2 Tanks from German, Dutch Surplus
The Canadian Army is acquiring 100 Leopard II tanks, to be delivered from Dutch and Dutch army surplus. The purchase is a change of direction for the army and in particular for Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Rick Hillier, who only a few years ago described the Leopard tanks as "millstone around the neck" of the Canadian forces. The Canadians realized the importance of main battle tanks in recent months, as tanks were rushed in to Afghanistan to support the Canadian contingent stationed at Kandahar. As the new tanks are inducted by the Army, the Leopard 1C2 tanks currently deployed in Afghanistan are expected to be retired from service.

At the time of release I had not heard anything official as to whether they will actually be named "C3" but it seems the logical choice .

I think there is a couple more minor errors in the Canada OOB that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere (from the 3.5 CD version):

- 2 Light Trucks in the Misc area has three trucks defined not two.
- Inf Co-Det Wpns in the Infantry area appears to be missing a third AT unit for the third platoon.

Also, should there be an Inf Cbt Sup Co. formation?, since there is a Mech Cbt Sup Co. formation and for a few years span there is a Para Cbt Sup Co. formation.

Thanks,

Deadeye

Since the inf co support weapons platoon has two inf-ATW in it, where would a third come from in the company with these weapons detached down to the platoons?.

3 light trucks is an obvious typo - needs fixing.

Some OOB designers put in battalion support companies - others do not bother. I doubt I have bothered ever to buy one in all the years I have played, preferring to buy the detachments and cross-attaching to companies as needed instead.

Cheers
Andy
