I'm taking a crack at the "Long Road to Victory" campaign and my core force consists of a full company of mechanized infantry w/ 37mm AT guns in their platoons (also comes with recon in the company), a platoon of M4A1s, a platoon of M13 SPAA guns, a platoon of 75mm SP guns (to be upgraded to M10s), a battery of 75mm SP artillery, a FO, and (of course) several platoons of jeeps and other cheap units to be upgraded later...

I have a weird feeling about this core force....is it historical at all? what would a no-holds-barred absolutely historical run-of-the-mill no connections to quartermasters and supply troops core force for the "long road" campaign consist of? I know there are people on the board who know this stuff inside and out ;)

on that note, what would a bare bones core for the stalingrad camp look like? i'd like to give these camps a shot with the equipment the average troops would have been given to work with.......

im so used to making my own custom core forces....i guess id like to try it from a grognard perspective :D

I think I'd want a second platoon of tanks, probably M3's since it's early in the war, and some TD's. TD's were often used as artillery, something you can't use them for in SP:WaW, but I'd include them anyway. I didn't see any mention made of mortars, so I assume you have only the ones in the company?
