Polish OOB

[DRG]

I'm not saying no and I'm not saying yes. What you propose is far more work than you think it is and extends to existing scenarios and campaigns which would all have to be rebuilt.

However, this could be handled similarly to the MBT Canadian OOB that has regular SP infantry formations and "Detached weapons" ( DW ) formations that break units down into smaller units and both are offered to players . I have filed this away and will consider it further over the winter

How many LMG's were in a Polish platoon ? and Militia PL

A somewhat related question. Is the effectiveness of the rifle in a squad affected by the number of men in the squad? That is, are three men firing rifles as effective as 19 men firing rifles? If yes, would it be possible to adjust effectiveness based on the number of men in the unit?

I have also noticed in playing 1939 scenarios, as noted in this thread, that the 19 man Polish squads have a hard time. They take more hits, which adds to their suppression, which makes them less effective.

Another thing worth taking a look at is experience level. The Poles had more experienced noncoms and officers because in the 1920s they fought the Soviets and some of their other neighbors, whereas the Germans experience was from WW1, except for some "volunteers" in Spain.

From the guide:

Class 1 - This is the infantry primary weapon class. This covers Rifles, SMG and so forth. Infantry units with a class 1 weapon in weapon slot will have their fire effect adjusted for the number of men in the unit and range in hexes, less bonus at long range. This reflects the number of riflemen in the section. Inf Prime weapons not in slot 1 do not get this bonus.

So yes 19 riflemen ARE more effective than say 10.

Good of you to remind me, it looks like SaS Troop missed that bit in his analysis.
