Trying to write up a custom scenario but I'm having trouble figuring out how to assign units. For example: this battle had the US 4th Infantry Division (and others). But that division is composed of:
I reckon it depends on how large or small you want it to be & what you have in your collection. I also think you are trying to create an Order of Battle by your question, how do you assign the units.
I use as my Rule of Thumb for size of units & attached support, 1 infantry equals 1 squad, 1 tank is 1 tank & 1 ART/ATG is 1 gun, 3 squads is Platoon, 3 Platoons is a Company, add machine guns & other support weapons as desired & do the math upward from there. ART/ATG, 3 guns are a Platoon in my design, 3 tanks are a Platoon.
From your list, I would say the band is expendable as are a couple others of the "Specials". Build Combat Formations & give it a go & please let us know how it plays out.
I’ve never done this before. I’m finding battle maps and suppositions of units. Just trying to figure out what tanks (example) are attached to these regiments, etc
Unit availability would be by the year of the scenario most likely & when a particular unit is available by the year on the card for that unit. I hope this helps you & feel free ask for help or advice & anything at all. Good Luck in this endeavor.
