Default Re: British Commando Units

Redcoat,

Interesting, 14 men per section.

I think one of the problems is that a standard Commando Troop is hard to pin down. Flexibility was built into their organization, and would be changed depending on the mission.

My main concern, with the current setup, is the one officer responsible to rally nine sections! This isn't the USSR ;-)

It seems like Commando troops should be officer heavy. A troop was really a stripped down company, not a platoon with all sorts of add-ons.

I can live with one officer if it's only 5 sections; but this elite unit is handicapped in SP.

cheers,
Cross

According to Osprey’s Battle Orders: British Commandos 1940-46 “command responsibility was devolved down to junior officers, NCOs and men, who were expected to exercise a degree of leadership, initiative and responsibility unknown in regular units.” It would be good if this could be simulated in the game somehow.

The organizational charts show Signals troops as part of the units HQ. I suspect that many of them would have been spread throughout the organization for intercommunication purposes – down to Troop and Section level at least.
