Custom Formation

[Alias72]

2 tanks per company. as well as 2 sp mortars.

the total numbers are 4 tanks, 2 td's, 4 sp mortars, 2 sp artillery.

the map that it could cover depends far too much on the opponent and other details of terrain. what is important is that it is likely the smallest formation that can independently acquire an objective. It has support, recon, and reserve elements. It is best suited to using one or two roads.

I have been able to hold a 5 km frontage pinned at two points against an assault by a 5000 point soviet force. Granted the AI sucks, but I did it. The loses were approximately %33 of one platoon. the second platoon lost negligible forces and the reserve was not deployed. thus only 2/3 of the force contributed.
