  1. The Headquarters Squad is not a command unit. It is a part of the compnay level command 'group'. In the US 42 Rifle Company list in the unit editor you will have:

    Company Headquarters

    Section Headquarters

    Headquarters Squad

    Bazooka Team

    ... then the rest of the company...

    I am just wondering what that Headquarters Squad was for in the real world?

    It has 4 rifles, 1 carbine, and 1 BAR. Was it the staff officers and other support people, cooks, drivers, etc? A recon unit?

    In addition, what are a few good books that have information like this?

  2. In the US 43 rifle squad. What is up with the Springfield rifle? Not there in the 42 squad. Why did they have a bolt-action rifle in the squads in the middle of the war, not before and not after?

    In the US 42 rifle company. The six man headquarters squad. What was that for? Are those the cooks and such? They have a two man headquarters section, and a bazooka team as part of that ‘platoon’.

  3. Why would they not do a Pacific war game? I would think they would pass on Korea and Vietnam because there was not much war of maneuver, or large amounts of tanks. I could maybe see a Gulf Wars game (but the advance stuff like TOWs might take something out of it).

  4. Where can I find info on the different types on German units? Like what is the between Füsilier, Grenadier, Light Infantry, Panzer Grenadier, Volks Grenadier, Motorized Infantry, etc. Not the makeup of the squads in CM, that is easy. But like the back ground information on the different type of formations, their purpose and use on the battlefield. Like just what was a Füsilier unit, why/how was it different from just a regular army unit?
