Default Re: Paratrooper LMG support squad

What you are actually asking, in a long-winded sort of way, is "why no 44 org Fj co/platoon".

We have only the one Fj co/platoon org, and this is a 45 or so man platoon - as your original link shows in passing [" the original Parachute Company seems to have used a twelve man squad as its foundation, with four Squads per Platoon. By 1944, each Platoon had lost a full Squad"]. That was probably the org we made in game terms 3 10xman gruppe with 3x5 man LMG support teams as the best way to represent the thing way back. probably to fit into the actual planes and gliders as well?. who knows. long time ago.

So - you are actually querying the lack of a 44 org Fj company. We had no knowledge of such an item.

I'll look into this, and see if there is a way to do this within the limited number of unit slots available (maybe by reducing 1944 fj gruppe to 8, and post 44 LMG teams to 3 - size 0 would then be justifiable), and then changing the code for the AI pick for a new formation. and adding [A] formations and so on.

If not feasable, the old formations/units will have to do.
