Infantry companies with a platoon

[Sheik Yerbouti]

While editing an organization file for a 1944 summer scenario I noticed that Finnish infantry companies have only one platoon(!) in them June-September 1944. Has anyone ever noticed this grave error before, or is there something wrong with my organization files? :confused:

Same oddity here sheik, maybe finnish companies were badly depleted at the time?

Not at all. Naturally some infantry companies got depleted during the summer fighting, like companies do in any army during a campaign, but there never was such ridicilous organisational changes. For example in the scenario I'm making some Finnish infantry companies are seriously depleted before the battle begins (at half strength), but they still had three platoons per company. Finnish casualty levels were quite moderate throughout the war anyway, but this OOB suggests that suddenly in June 1944, about 66% of Finnish infantry platoons had disappeared mysteriously. Has this serious error gone unnoticed earlier? Are there no scenarios covering the summer fighting of 1944 of Finnish forces?

You need to look further back in the terrain for the company sauna, that's where you'll find the missing troops? ;)

No, they are filled with Swedish volunteers. :p

In 1944 only the III platoon appears in the infantry companies, in the EF copy I have (EF Gold).

Yes, in June-September 1944 to be exact. That's the problem.

You may add platoons to the organization in the oob editor. Pain in the neck but you can do it.

Using the append tool can help too, but yeah, it's a pain.

Finnish Coastal defense companies had only one infantry platoon, all the war. The rest of the company were, engineers, Jägers, Mg and light guns/mortars.

Infantry Companies never had less than 3 infantry platoons. Same with Jägers.

You need to go higher in the ORG file and remake some companies to rectify the problem.
