Sorry for double post but you mentioned in first post OOB
Quote:
Grand Total: 501 men, 145 units, 35 BTR-80 (I know it’s not 100% accurate, but it still gives a startlingly good perspective of what an unsupported Russian battalion looks like
Also surprised how well Green OOB matched..

My thoughts
First shows how games OOBs are pretty much right a lot of work goes into them.
For the Russians you could go with the standard setup I use if playing them.
In this case as BTR Companies
3X BTR Companies Page 2 about 8th from bottom.
1X BTR BTR Bn Support Company page 3 about 15th.
In fact you could use 3X BTR Co with MBT just below it to give each 4 tanks.
This is very close to your original & has the bonus of being set up already.
You lost 3 MGs & gained an ATGM & 3 Iglas
Gained RPG teams instead of snipers.
My view snipers the level you are talking = designated marksmen have standard rifles not sniper & you said COULD act independently.
Thats a lot of snipers even for an elite unit could allow a couple assuming Spetsnaz involved as think they were.
Easy purchase then in my view
3x BTR Co with MBT
If wish could remove RPG teams by assigning away but I would leave them.
1x BTR Bn Support Co, if you wish just delete the Iglas section.
Any spare tanks can be tacked onto this for command & control or if enough buy a tank co.
if you want a couple of snipers tac them onto Bn Support or change a RPG team in a couple of BTR Cos.
This pretty much gives what you are after for minimal work & C&C is setup all thats left I think is arty.
Buy a FOO (first unit after HQ best place or very last unit) which you have not mentioned.
If bought SPA Battalion bottom of page 2 you could spirit FOO vehicle away or change it to a second foot FOO if wanted.
Delete the formations it comes with & add the correct ones then assign C&C to him or your Support Co
Switch tank models if want.
Just produced what you want for minimal work less time than it took to write this pretty much straight out of the box with C&C sorted & minimal editor work.
