Where can I find the historical organizations for various armies sections and platoons? Right now I am doing 1940 French. Is there such a thing as Bolt Action suggested armies? That is an army list that I can just plug and play for 500 and 1000 point armies? Without having to go and figure it out. Yes I am a little lazy but I am not interested in using points as I prefer to build to historical scenarios. But my club seems to be obsessed with points. So I need to placate them with as less pain as possible. |

With a little help I got it figured it out using the army builder. Got some great scenarios form Skirmish Campaigns. So I am set. |

For a historical reference you might use Quality Castings' "The Gamer's Guide to WWII Small Unit Organizations and TO&Es"; squad and platoon organizations for all the major combatants (and some of the minors) with equipment specified down to the last pistol. |

Join the Yahoo TO&E group. Their files are detailed beyond description. Helpful group with questions. Extensive coverage of various WWII nations and unit variations. Many periods covered. Amazing detail from division down to squad level. |

Gamer's Guide has a lot of errors in it, but it is mostly correct. |
