CharlieB Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 A UK Close Recce Pl has 8 cars (Scimitar). Do any of the vehicle types in SB allow an 8 veh platoon size which I can then convert to Scimitar to make the recce Pl? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) No the biggest unit you can have is 6. Within the 6 though you can make some units one type or another. But be careful as the callsigns determine order of march in different formations. This might help: https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZ9TQkZdhJcGThWm7RXyryeqcJyWfL2oncX So I think the best you could have is two "patrols" of four, or four patrols of two, etc. Edited April 4, 2016 by Gibsonm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieB Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 I thought as much. Have created 2 x 4 veh sections within the Recce Pl by creating 2 x Recce entries in the platoon column - not ideal but hey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major duck Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Its the same with the danish recon platoon (2 Leo1A5, 4 x GD240(which cant hold inf), 1x M113 + Inf, 1 x M125MMT, 1 x GD240 Command) aka 9 vehicles It can be done but it is not right 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSe419E Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 You'll have to show me how to do it one day so a pre-Div'86 Cavalry troop can be used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you read the PDF I made and linked to above, then you will "know how to do it" I use it for Echelons, AS Cav Troops, Inf with attachments, convoys, all sorts of "stuff". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieB Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 It is most useful for the echelon. I also use it for the Armd Engr Tp and for the LAD. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. I didn't read it first time because I was in a hurry. Thanks for the information. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
