I have always preferred these types of troops but they take so much more effort to produce. Thanks for sharing.

That will be two further posts to come. <br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-51958843656659288462020-06-15T17:46:55.911-07:002020-06-15T17:46:55.911-07:00Hi KEV -

I've long since abandoned that plan. I did field my Russian mechanised Brigade on several occasions, though.<br /><br />I also had an idea that for campaigns, each formation would have its own inventory, with no 'stand-ins' borrowed from other formations. My 11th Pz Div would have 4 artillery battalions: 1 SP (1 Hummel, 2 Wespe), 1 15cm towed, 2 10.5cm towed, 2-3 pieces each. My 352nd Division would have had 4 howitzer battalions also: 1 15cm, 3 10.5cm probably just 2 pieces each. That meant at least 14 towed artillery pieces. This did not count the infantry guns, which were infantry assets.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Ion Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-9849017168794691002020-06-15T06:04:29.155-07:002020-06-15T06:04:29.155-07:00Archduke Piccolo,
