Re: Vehicles...
Generally I am for the Company transport having a seperate "Company Transport" section if we cannot cover all the units organically. The problem is this is the real OOB (for that time) with already quite a few vehicles less (actual company strength of around 180), incl. all the commander's vehicles. Given the importance of playability I defer to (both of your) judgement on this - for PK's mod you have some of my info on advanced/alternative weapons systems anyway.
Another reason to have the company transport seperate is that the there should be a cateory for "civilian transport" in platoon strength, as on MOB every single civilian heavy vehicle (and motorcycles etc.) was to be drafted into the army (all truck owners to this day recieved on purchase of their vehicle "army marching orders" where to park their vehicle in emergency. This platoon or company sized unit should just be "civilian" or "mobilised tranport" and are only civilian vehicles, at, of course, a much reduced price compared to the army vehicles.
A friend recently admonished me for saying that the platoon frontage was 150m - while correct in some cases it is intended to be able to cover up to 400m of frontage in the "extended line" defence (this is not possible in SPMBT - in effect this a squad deployed on line, not a "continous line" o/c however). We will see how this becomes a problem with the "Fortress units" which played a vital role and were screened by infantry in trenches.
