Assuming people can find, and bother to read, the info text that sounds like the best bet.

You can add text information that show up in the purchase screen - although I think many players will use all kinds of "creative" formation mixes if given the chance, regardless of what some notes say..., especially in PBEM where everyone seems to always play with top kit.

- Local Defence Units -

During the Cold War Sweden organised a large number of units for defence of important objectives or areas.

In MBT terms these units would be unsexy - they had older equipment, limted moblility and were staffed with older conscripts - but they made up more than half of the overall infantry strength, and in case of war they were likely to be the units first into action.

I was thinking of using the various Guards classes for these type of units, although they were not Guards in the international meaning. Might be confusing, but these classes are largely untapped in the OOB and I'm going to need all the others as Sweden in the 1980s had several other infantry organisations in use at the same time...
