Some notes on the GD 1940 fillout
Vince's "what's this crazy Yank up to this time" befuddlement illustrates why notes should accompany these things.
Without getting too much into the construction side... The PDF is designed on a 7.8 x 10.5 inch footprint. This lets one print it, without scaling, on either US letter size or A4 paper, and allow for a print margin. The sheet is eventually intended to be folded along the dashed line, or otherwise use that line as a common edge. If you need more of my construction scheme, let me know.
Notes on the counters & Grossdeutschland in 1940:
- The basic structure of the regiment is 3 (triangular) motor infantry battalions, 1 anti-tank company, 1 heavy support company, and 1 (attached) assault gun battery.
- The 5-3 MTC is really a composite of 4(ish) motorcycle sections for guard, dispatch, & recon duty. I've made 2 1-step 2-3 breakdown replacement counters for it as an optional deployment (note the unit size). I had thought about 4 1-3 counters, but they would have made stacking a little too fuzzy.
- The StuG III counters represent 640th Sturmartillerie Battery. While technically not GD, it was on permanent assignment and would eventually become organic to the regiment as the 16th Sturmartillerie. 2 counters are probably a little much to represent it, but 1 seemed to be too little.
- The truck count somewhat rough, but should adequate. My original GD'40 also had 48 trucks.
Are there any other questions I might answer?
... More and more, people around the world are coming to realize that the world is flat!
