I'm looking for a reference that would give the TO+E for the major combatants down to the individuals in the squad.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks very much

Tabletop Games did a book called "WW2 Army Organisations & Equipment" by Ian Shaw which you might find on E-Bay or other second hand book sites. It's excellent and I use it for all my WW2 games. Other than that, I don't know of any still in print. |

OG15s.Quality Castings sells "The Gamer's Guide to WWII Small Unit Organizations and TO&Es. It has a few small errors in it, but it's overall pretty good. |

I second " "The Gamer's Guide to WWII Small Unit Organizations and TO&Es" from OG15. I heard about this via another TMP thread a few years ago and it is very good. I would use it every few months, along with bayonetstrength.150m.com |

Another recommendation for 'ww2 organisation and equipment', all you could want in one slim, cheap volume. Shows its age a bit now though. Note that for some combatants, we still don't actually know what their orgs were e.g. sov motorised smg battalions. |

Ian Shaws "ww2 org & equip" is good for element games as it is built around 4 different rulesets. It does give a good idea about equipment and the organisations from company up. I have the first two editions which added more nationalities. the third (if there is one,…Im sure Ive seen it) may have dutch and belgians? The "gamer's guide" is much more useful at the company down, and has a wider range of nationalities and troop formations. Gary's site is an excellent resource…as is the Yahoo group. Yahoo's Dutch info was very useful since some info has got out which is completely wrong due to translation errors. Different rulesets also go a long way to giving good breakdowns at various levels. CD test of battle and Battlefront ww2 sites have a huge volume of invaluable info that can be translated across rulesets. As you are looking for info down to individuals, It does sound like you want the "gamers guide" |
