Perhaps slightly off topic but I thought this is as good a place as any to answer this query :

A friend of mine is looking for information, books/websites etc on army organisations in Europe post D-Day, from divisional level right down to squad if possible.
Any help appreciated.

Along the lines of typical, generic units rather than specific divisions etc, although anything will be considered.
I'm guessing but "official" unit strengths, particularly for the Axis forces late war, would probably be wildly different from actual strengths in the field ?

For that matter, why not look in the organization editor in this game?

Actually why not just download it for free instead of buying? Bought version just adds the megacampaigns, the rest is free, and it's rather better to try the game first :)
