The Commander Series Forum

When sorting out battle groups and such, do you think right ive this many bases of infantry so ill need x HQs or do you go by points or what?

Thanks
Brian.

A battalions worth is what we play 9-12 stands. Some have a few more and that can get a bit unwieldy.

With 9-12 you can keep them together and not be a prime arty target yet still retain some coherency

thats what i was thinking, thanks for the info.

I generally play CWC and I've settled on CO plus roughly one command stand per six fighting stands.

We often use bttns on the large side. Typically 9-12 infantry, possibly a scout/recce, then AT, MG (3-4) and mortar. British bttns might have a carrier plt in addition (2-4 units). Hence a British inf bttn at full strength might muster 20+ units. Hence we tend to go with 2 HQs per bttn. One is the bttn commander and the other represents the command functions of the 2ic or the company commanders.

I do the same as Dr Dave.

Yup, heavy battalions (like US armored infantry) work best with 2 command stands. I add a company radio vehicle for the second one.
