Should a Soviet Battalion have 1 command order from the battalion command, or should each company have its own order in addition to battalion, etc. I have not been able to read how Soviet forces were trained to react tactically, but I have read that on the larger scale the Soviets planned everything in extreme detail so that, in case of breakdowns in command, soviet forces could follow through with an attack. |

Do you want to know what the rule was in Combined Arms, or are you looking for opinions on doing something different? |

In the old "Combined Arms", you got the battalion command and one company also got a command. This allowed you to fight the battalion as two echelons per Soviet doctrine. In CDTOB Chadwick structures the commands differently by giving you a battalion command and putting the rest of the stands under a "combined companies" command. This again gives you 2 commands per battalion but puts everything but the battalion HQ into one unit for morale rolls. Personally I follow the "Combined Arms" system. On the CDTOB forum, Bob McKenzie gives all Soviet companies a command. It depends on how agile you feel the Cold War Soviets were. |

There are also unofficial modern lists for the latest version of the game. |
