Notes on Loaned and Captured Vehicles Both the A1is and the Allies used captured euipment during the war. 'any of the 'inor

A1is powers were given captured vehicles. #ome euipment was modified and upgraded

-y the new owners. Another area of confusion is the sell or loan of euipment to other

countries. 'any e1ile units +"olish, &rench, etc and many minor powers on -oth sideswere outfitted with outdated euipment -y their dominant allies

9. Infantry Company reflects the -asic company in organi2ation and strength common to

most nations.

3. )lite Co. This includes units that are special trained and often have 'Gs in the organic

To). It includes G- Commandos, # Rangers, #'C 'arine Raiders, Russian #'GCos, German @affen ##,

4. #ecurity Companies reflect the composite platoons +not numerous enough to comprise

an entire company si2ed unit used to protect /s and Artillery units. They are often ami1 of AT guns, 'Gs, mortars, rifles, #'Gs and AT rifles.

5. Reduced Companies are used to represent poorly trained or motivated infantry

companies, depleted strength companies and other less effective infantry units.<. /eavy #pt Company or /eavy @eapons Company represent the unit used to support

the -asic unit. It may consist of 'Gs only or mortars only, AT +short 6-a2oo0as, "iats, etc.

or 4=mm guns guns, or a com-ination of any of the weapons.:. )ngineer Companies are rated as -asic Infantry Companies -ut they receive positive

modifiers when attac0ing vehicle or -un0er comple1 units.=. / units represent the staff of a -attalion or higher unit. It has only T@( step

reduction loss level so only two men should -e used on the -ase. A tent or staff6commandvehicle can -e used to help I the unit. A #ecurity unit may -e authori2ed for the unit and

is deployed adacent to the -ase.

8, 'o-ile /. #ome / units have a certain num-er of tan0s or halftrac0s +not eeps ortruc0s attached. If so then a 'o-ile / 6 Command Tan06halftrac0 may -e authori2ed. If

one is present, it will have only a T@( step reduction loss level.

D. Cycle Cos. These are units used for scouting. #ome will -e euipped with motorcyclesand other with -icycles. They were often small units -ut with high organic 'G ratios.

Any com-ination of cycles w6riders and foot can -e used to represent its &" value.

9?. Cavalry units can -e used for scouting or impact troops. They are not the horse drawnunits used for transport. The horse and rider will count as one &".99. A player may adust the ratings of specific units depending of the nationality -eing

formed or the scenario used. &or e1ampleE a #'C player may wise to upgrade a num-er

of infantry companies from -asic to )lite to represent veterans. Another e1ample! After9D54 many Russian Rifle companies were reduced strength due to casualties.

93. Alpine, 'ountain , Commando, Ranger, Chindit and 'arauder trained units will treat

all terrain as clear terrain.
