Thanks for the input guys. So is the division bigger until it gets converted to a new TO&E, or is it exactly the same TO&E just with more initial manpower and equipment from the 3 bds rather than two? I would guess the later...
its actual messier than that. As Denniss says you'll have far too much of some elements and still have the gaps where elements don't exist in the brigade TOE but do in the divisional TOE. Its this that can undermine the brigade-division strategy if you are not careful as you can end up with relatively low experience levels.
If you fill out the brigades to 100%, you'll get a division out of combining two of around 10,500 men, some gaps in the ToE, high morale and patchy experience. It'll start with a cv around 3. If you keep it in the rear long enough to build up experience in the new elements it can reach 4 (depends a bit how fast it sheds morale).
If you build a divisions with 3 brigades, you can produce a 5 cv monster (briefly). So if you really need a serious roadblock now, and have no means to use a rifle corps, a couple of those in poor terrain/behind a river will be a serious problem for the Germans.
But it is pretty inefficient, you are paying 15 admin pts (3 brigades) to buy a 10 admin pt rifle division that will shrink pretty quickly back down to the norm.
