Polish OOB2 corrections/suggestions (v.6)

[Pibwl]

I know, that removing these units will screw up scenarios, that's why they should be just renationalized - it should solve problem, and we won't have a plethora of redundant units to choose, differing in addition of an extra rifle.

Adding an LMG to each unit won't be a good idea, because now there are 12 units of three classes, while there should be only 3 or 4 in one or two classes: a standard squad with wz.98 rifle, an early one with Berthier, an experimental one with SLR (radio 3) and maybe a standard squad with ATR.

I didn't mention unit 305, because it is class 51 Light infantry (a company HQ), which I haven't checked yet. Speaking of class 51:
- 286 Rifle Squad - correct, but weapon 144 wz.29 Carbine or 173 wz.98 Carabine (should be Carbine) is more appropriate than rifle
- 286 Rifle Squad - Lebel should be changed to Berthier, and it should end in 1934
- 305 Rifle Squad with two Lebels - redundant, especially, that command sections even had less rifles, than men

A number of men in these units could be easily reduced to around 10, since they were HQ sections, with many specialized and logistic troops, not all of which had rifles and not all were involved in action (apart from necessity).

By the way, as for formation 315 MG Company, which also used Light Infantry: the fourth MG platoon should be on taczankas - so it should be replaced with formation 153 SP-AA Section - which in turn should have three taczankas and be renamed SP-AAMG Platoon.

Speaking of MGs: formation 85 MG Section should be renamed "platoon"

Oh, I forgot: regular infantry squads with Berthier rifles should also have weapon 91 VB Rifle Grnd (with unknown number of ammo, say 10 like unit #287 of 1940)

If you are going to offer suggestions to correct our work then you better start double checking your work so I don't have to guess what you are referring to

Two references to 286 ? Maybe the second one should be 304 ?

unit #287 has 10 rifle grenades because it has 10 men. If it had 12 men there would be 12 rifle grenades

Yes, sir. Sorry, sir.

I don't know, so you can put how many you like - however, not all soldiers had VB launchers.
