I'm playing through a generated campaign as Greece and noticed that unit 268, the 149mm howitzer, has 48 men in it. This seems rather high, the other howitzers available to purchase range from 6-12 men, at least for my current year and month (Oct. 1940). The weapon the unit fires is called the Skoda 149mm M14. Does anyone know what the proper crew size should be so I can adjust it? I can't seem to find information about how much crew it had.

The OOB designer most probably copied it from an existing off0map battery and edited that into an on-map singlele gun forgetting to cut the crew to that of a singleton.

That is exactly what happened........sort of
It was first entered in 2009 V4 with 209 range as a battery with 48 men
In 2017 it was "corrected" to a single How with the correct off map range but retained the name "149mm How Bty"
In 2018... V11 the name was corrected to "149mm How" but the nuimber of men was not
Just now I corrected the crew size to 12 based on this-------
AI Overview
The number of crew for a Skoda 149mm howitzer varied depending on the specific model:
Obice da 149/13 Modello 14: This howitzer required a crew of 12 men.
.... and that 48 / 4 = 12 as well and if you do not PBEM you can correct your copy to 12 men as well or wait for the remote chance we will update SPWW2 someday
AS WELL the reduced crew reduces the unit cost to 70 so if you are going to correct the crew size you might as well adjust the cost as well
