Commonwealth infantry battalion organisation.


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I would first like to say what a high standard all the tables of organisation are in CM, just like everything else in the game.

However one small thing I noticed was that in the anti-tank platoon in Commonwealth infantry battalions there are only three six pounders. All the sources I have seen over the years state that by 44 there were six guns in the anti-tank platoons of Commonwealth infantry battalions.One such source is George Forty's British Army Handbook 1939-1945.

All the best,

Kip.

PS. There were also 12 Bren Carriers in each anti-tank platoon.

Beat me to it, I saw that last night and checked it in the self same book by Forty. I do recall seeing somewhere that in the motor battlions of the armoured divisions there were 4 guns in a troop but they had 3 troops. Not sure whether that still pertained in 1944.
