Artkin Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) hello, I modeled the 5th SS Panzer Division "Wiking" as best as I could in CMRT. This is their paper organization, not their combat organization. There are books out there apparently that have that information... https://www.filemail.com/d/ebrbhznhmosnqwr Edited September 12, 2021 by Artkin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Great job, Artkin. Must have been quite a lot of work. Thanks for that! I often think how good it would be to have more maps of famous battlefields and more master TOE's, as you call it, to create your own scenario's faster and easier. Would be great tools to create realistic quick battles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasnt as much as it may seem, but it definitely requires having 10 tabs open at once in Pale Moon and alt tabbing about 100-200 times. I'm going to try and focus on doing CM battlefields. Like use the master maps and see who fought on them. If I model both forces on the same file it's like a digital playset! Thats the whole point anyway. This formation is a tool so we can all understand how scenarios/campaigns get their troop compositions. And its a lot of fun playing with a regiment at a time on pbem... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually glad to hear that. If I get books I'll submit updates to these.. which is kind of lame I didnt get it right the first time but whatever. These all should really be rough outlines of what to expect from these divisions. This division took action around Radzymin, the largest tank battle in Poland of the war apparently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) Here are two more to chew on, bare infantry divisions for each side. One is historical by name and is in theater alongside 5th SS Panzer division in January 1945 under command of 4th Army (203rd Infantry Division) , and one is fictional (132nd Rifle Division)... https://www.filemail.com/d/ljfshojoyhexqsr Edited September 13, 2021 by Artkin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artkin Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 Thanks a ton @akd. My goodness that is loaded with symbols. I have the key for them, but that's a ton to break down. GeorgeMC has a good book on them too. Once I get my next job I will probably pick up a few books. I was trying to establish a paper strength here, and afterward I would consider the real thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
