THE PROBLEM: Time and time again I am faced with this horrible SPMBT problem as I'm sure some of you have also faced.
I go to the buy screen and I see light tank companies, heavy tank companies, mbt companies, RECON AFV/jeep companies, support infantry companies, normal infantry companies, etc. (The last two examples are the meat of my question).

I know that I (Lt. Col.) am in charge of 3 combat companies and myself (the invisible headquarters company)

When I buy my three Infantry companies for example do I buy one infantry RECON company, one infantry company, and one one heavy infantry support company or two infantry RECON and one infantry or three RECON or 3 infantry or 3 support? What should I do?

My advice is throw accuracy into the trashcan. Buy the equipment you need to do what YOU want to do. So what if your force depicts historical accuracy or not.

If you simply must be accurate,then go with pre-made scenerio's
as they tend to be more historically accurate.
Nobodies going to arrest you for being historically inacurate.

Try to focus on enjoying the game rather than beating yourself up for nothing.

thatguy96 I know I can buy any assortment of companies and units that I choose, you missed my point. This is my fault and not yours. My point is that as a "light Col." (US ARMY) I can typically count on commanding 3 combat companies if memory servers correctly. I wish to use the correct amount of subordinates as my rank depicts and not some gamy arrangement of Abrams and snipers for example.

With that said I would greatly appreciate for someone to tell me if they could how many recon companies/normal companies/support companies - comprise the entire battalion. Perhaps it is more than 3 total companies, I'm not really sure. Any info would be especially excellent

Should I use 3 of a kind or mix and match for best RL simulation?
Maybe I'm just barking up the wrong tree, If I'm the only person that cares about this.

If it's really important to you ,try using google to dig up that info. It must be out there somewhere.
I've never concerned myself with such things. I mean theres never a speck of blood anywhere, you know thats not reality.
