cassh Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Does anyone know where one can find Orbats online for the North African campaign that show down to at least battalion level elements? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Lucke Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 This site has some basic info from the early war, up to '41. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassh Posted November 19, 2003 Author Share Posted November 19, 2003 Many thanks von Lucke. Unfortunately that is not quite what I am looking for. But that web sites unit database is interesting. I don't know whether a web site with the 1940-43 orbat for both Axis and Allied forces exists, and I am considering building a database driven site along these lines. I thought this would be useful for CMAK players and scenario designers, and especially in managing a semi-historical campaign. I spoke to Biltong long ago about doing the campaign manager using a database driven orbat using php/mysql. I just finished teaching myself this combo. So now I know roughly what I am doing and can actually begin a project of this type. To be able to do this we would need extensive orbat data which listed not only the names of every army group, army, corps, division, brigade, regiment and battalion deployed in North Africa on both sides up to the fall of Tunisia, but also when and where they saw action. So if anyone is interested in contributing data and research material please contact me and we will get this thing underway. My email address is on my profile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 This site linked by ex-Tweety in another thread has the Orbat for 7th Armoured. Commando Supremo has the OOB for the axis forces down to regimental level. Since battalions were just numbered, it is not too difficult below that, except that you need to know whether the divisions had 2 or 3 battalions/regiment. Lexikon der Wehrmacht has the light Afrika Divisions at this link. It has the Panzerdivisionen here. In the PDs, infantry regiments are always with 2 battalions. Tank regiments can have one or two battalions. [ November 19, 2003, 05:48 AM: Message edited by: Andreas ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cassh Posted November 19, 2003 Author Share Posted November 19, 2003 Nice link Maus_TD. I've had a quick look using Babelfish's translator and it looks like a great site so far. Cheers Cass 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 The site is from the same stable as Lexikon der Wehrmacht, and that is one of the best sites I know. OOB info will be from the same sources, but probably more detailed, I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
