Leaning towards 15mm right now, Uesugi, at least for smaller, skirmish battles.
Perhaps 6mm for larger battles.
I'd love to do 12mm, but the minis availability is a little limited in some categories, in 1/144th scale, and with international shipping costs, they run as much, or more as some stuff I can get here in the USA, in 1/100th scale.
No joy on the TO&E Yahoo Group, sadly.
They've got the current, and/or late 20th Century Jaeger unit, but nothing for the earlier periods, e.g. Heerstruktur 1 – 3, or even 4.
I did see some Bundeswehr references for Heer 5 and 6 though.
I'd be fine with even a rough approximation, e.g. 3 – 4 squads per platoon (probably 3, plus a heavy weapons squad?), number of men in the squads – probably around ten for the trucks, but could be 11 or 12 I guess, general overview of weapons (mainly G3s, with 1 – 2 MG1s per squad, etc.).
Would like to know if there are number differences between the squads in the PzGren Motor Rifle platoons/companies, and the Jaeger units (are the Jaegers really Gebirgsjaegers, or are they different, e.g. light infantry vs. mountain troops)?
Might be interesting to know about their "Home Guard" as well. Can't recall the term now, but seem to recall "Territorials" being mentioned. Not sure if they have transport, or are primarily foot units.
I'd also like to know if the "Territorials" were relegated to defending their local, home turf, or if they were expected to be deployed to other areas of West Germany, as needed?
