The ones I know of:

Battlefront

Forged in Battle

Peter Pig (But it's for the make up of their game PBI, NOT 1 to 1).

Eureka sells figure individually so you can get exactly the figures you want.

And Skytrex sell 10 man squad packs. (And there is currently a 20% off sale).

QRF does as well though you'll probably need to message geoff about it.

Problem is there is just so much disagreement on what makes up a platoon.

None of the manufacturers have exactly correct orbats because none of the real armies operated exact orbats in combat all the time.

Most of the orbats in the platoon packs are reasonably good with a few exceptions of overrepresented or excluded weapons

Nobody represents the correct number of men in hmg units because they are just extra figures doing nothing…..

I thought the Peter pig packs were better than most in getting orbats correct. They do pick the over represented platoons for the italians. Their desert british are spot on for motor companies, but no one else does that orbat elsewhere. they use something else

Geoff has got it right….you cannot agree what an orbat would necessarily be at any specific time

Yes you are right, the PP platoon packs are 1 to 1 and not specifically for PBI.
Thanks
