greetings, i am on the work for a napoleonic scenario, some pictures taken from american civil war tom's map, nearly completed, for an oob my best way to do it is to give units to "army groups" and make it mathematical perfect, maybe second world war is my speciality, i have done and played much of world war 2 scenarios, better in my oppinion is to base the order of battle on generals, the Advanced Tactics system that favors with experience system and staff research level better commands favor to include this type of Order Of Battle, to overall maybe will be as follow, it is my oppinion and i do have plans to make a scenario from diplomacy scenario on world war 2...
OOB... maybe each command can have 1 artillery, 2/3 infantry, 1 engineer, 1 air fleet and one or two armor, i prefer to give more armor to russia and germany, so each command will be 7/8 units on base,
commands... 12 for germany, 3 for italy, 5 for france, 6 for united kingdom, 7 for united states, 9 for russia, 5 for japan, (for japan including of course his enormeus manchukuo, manchuria army and the units that make amphibious assaults on china's shore, i think on two beachhead them make, i think)
allies will have more production, russia and united states on his own are power houses of production and united kingdom remember that included all commonwealth nations, india, australia and canada, in esence, for the germans can give more experience, that is tweak the experience system to allow the germans to achieve high experience levels from his attacks on allied minors and france, on operation barbarossa on june 22, 1941 there are 3 millions of germans more or less veterans, and this is 2/3 of all german army power.
you can name the commands as you want or, as i usually do, name the command after the most relevant commanders, that can be...
germany...(12 Commands)
Rommel, Manstein, Rundstedt(army group south), Guderian, Von Leeb (army group north), Von Bock (army group center), Kleist, Model, Manteufel, Kesselring, Hoepner, Hoth.
Italy... (3 Commands)
Graziany, Garibaldy, Messe
Japan... (5 Commands)
Yamamoto, Hata(armor forces), Yamashita, Umezu, Terauchi.
United Kingdom... (6 Commands)
Montgomery, Alexander, O'Connor, Auchinleck, Wavell, Cunningham.
(commonwealth forces must be done apart)
United States... (7 Commands)
Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Collins, Hodges, Devers (or Clark), McArthur.
Russia... (9 Commands)
usually russia must enjoy production advantages to simulate his enormeous industry advantage, it can be easily set with peoples modifiers, maybe 1.5 for production to germany and 2-1 for russia.
Zukhov, Koniev, Timoshenko, Rotsmistrov(5th tank guards army at kursk, against SS of Hausser), buddeny, voroshilov, Vatutin, rokossovsky, eremenko.
france... (5 Commands)
De Gaulle, Weygand, Georges, Billote, Gamellyn.
to setup the fleets will be other design, usually i set 3-2 advantage from japan+germany+italy versus UK royal navy, and 3-2 UK royal navy+United states, aside france and russian fleet.
just my 2 cents, hope it helps,
with best regards,
alarick.
