I am running 7.1 and setting up a game with rarity off...when I looked at the guards motorised company I noticed 3 infantry platoons with trucks, and a fourth company which basically consisted of about 6 or 8 trucks...the company had not units to put in them...just the trucks...is something missing like AT guns or a fourth infantry platoon?

the 44 Soviet SMG company had four infantry platoons with trucks.

I just looked, and you are right, but there are TWO Motorized Guard Companies there. One doesn't have extra trucks. I think the one with the trucks is kind of neat, because you can put engineers or ATG or something in them, or maybe as spares to replace combat losses.

Goblin- A Goblin thinks two is better than one:)

In version 7.0 as I recall, certain motorised companies had the trucks placed in separate platoons...this was to get around the problem of not being able to both advance the infantry and retreat the trucks at the same time.

Perhaps the platoon of trucks is a leftover from this that should have been deleted.

I am aware of the workaround for the combined infantry/truck platoon with CC on...that is place the unit objective before the hex where the infantry is to be dropped off...advance the trucks to where they will take less than half its movement points to pass the objective...next move advance the trucks to the drop-ff point (at least one hex ahead of the objective flag)...the available route of advance will then switch directions...unload the infantry and move the truck back the way it came...when all trucks have been moved to safety, set the objective flag to the infantry destination and advance the infantry.

I just submitted a thread in the SPWaW OOB Modifications area. Maybe I should have posted it here? Anyways it's a lot more than the Motorized Guards Rifle unit that are messed up. For instance the SMG Motor Rifle units don't have enough trucks. For more info see my thread. Good day!:)
