Does anyone have clipart or a good jpeg of the Bundeswehr cross? I'm not very pleased with the Decal options that are out there commercially so I'm going to be making my own. Thanks

Thanks so much I'll pvt you with an e-mail address to send the link.Voltigeur,
I have a TO&E for Territorial units of the mid 80's if you're interested. I keep forgetting to upload it to Thomas' TO&E site but maybe I can get to it tonight. Its actually the work of Ferret701 on this forum, covers all of NATO - very impressive body of work.
This thread is getting expensive. Was looking at the "other guys" and seeing they have Modern West Germans. I have a company of Leo 2's and a full company of Marders.
One operational question: Did the West Germans continue to cross attach platoons in the late 80's or did they keep companies together and cross attach at battalion?
One of the most interesting problems I have ever gamed is a potential Soviet crossing of the border when there is so much monitoring and so hard to get surprize.
A former troop comander of 11ACR said the best time for a Soviet attack was 1am on Saturday morning. Try to catch the NATO troops on liberty after alot of drinking.
I pray for Peace on Earth Good will toward men. Till then one round HE fire for Effect!

During my miltiary service we said that the best time to cross the boarder (for the soviets) is Friday 3 pm because every german soldier is on weekend .
Mh I only know that every brigade has a mixed battalion in wartime.
For example a tank brigade has 2 tank battalions, 1 infantry battalion, 1 Artillery battalion and a mixed battalion with 2 tank company and 1 infantry company. (+ a anti-tank company, engineer-kompany, maintenance-company, logistic-company and hq-company).
so long

...Back in '73 when I was with the 354th Pz,we would behave on the company level.It would also seem to me that this would carry on to the battalion level. I was only a tank crew member then and really didn't get to see the"bigger" picture from there.
I do know that when we advanced and the situation called for infantry we would have a compny of panzer grenadiers (form mechlesburg?) attack with us.

Thanks that should work well once I've photoshopped it.

German army in Shilo Manitoba
Has anyone here trained at Shilo Manitoba normal known as GATES( German Army Training Establishment Shilo? If so, what units were trained there? I`m from Winnipeg and have being visiting the Germans for several years. Now that they`re gone all I see is Canadian stuff somewhat boring.

If you want information on the Bundeswehr I would suggest you take a look at the free country studies available for the Modern Rules.
