How big are the different units?

Post by vindahl »

It might be a stupid question, but I was wondering if there was some sort of official/unofficial info on how big the different units are, when talking about manpower?
The ships might be obvious 1 each unit, but how about infantry - are we talking 1.000 men each unit? Tanks, artillery and airplanes etc. would that be wrong to say that they could consist of 10 or are we talking more like 100 each unit?

It varies a lot from scenario to scenario. For instance in the Kharkov 42 of Panzerkrieg there's about one million men involved. Then again in the Someri scenario of Winter War there are only couple of hundred men total (irl the Finns had less than one hundred men in the beginning).
