How big would a Partisan Cav formation get ? I have a rather interesting mounted Cav "platoon" built. There were 10 man partisans in that OOB and a group of 5 man units all under the same unitclass and I've separated them into 10 man 76-partisan and 5 man 234-partisan squad. It's those 5 many units I'm mounting two per cav mount unit. Right now I have a nominal platoon of 30 --six units plus three mount units but I don't know if I should make a full company as well

I've looked up Anić and - guess what - partisan cav platoons officially had 30 men.

There was one such platoon per partisan brigade (when possible).

Companies ("squadrons" would be a better translation) did exist, but only from 9/44 on. They had 3 platoons each (+ squadron HQ).

Just noticed I attached the pic of a StuG III G but it's not on my list of suggestions. To clear that up: a couple of them were captured as early as 11/44 in Belgrade, but were only used for training. A few may have been pressed into service in the last days of the way (crewed by Germans who were held at gunpoint). So if you do put them in, they should be 5/45 or 6/45 to 12/46.

Another thing: since the Autoblinda 41 is going to be moved to a later date, this will mean the Armoured Car formation will be empty until 9/43. Will this cause a problem with AI picklists? If so, I can upload a photo of an improvised AC that could plug that gap.
