Default Re: Polish OOB2 corrections/suggestions (v.6)

Since there should be Polish R-35s in 5-6/40, there's no need of French tanks IMO.

I suggest to make it this way:
A standard platoon, for a pick list, should be made of one long gun tank (eg. class 105) and two short gun tanks (eg. class 106, like unit 456 FT-17). FT-17s should have radio code 1, R-35 should have 2.
Four such platoons should create a company (3-tank platoons and 13-tank companies have been confirmed).
Such formations should be available in 3-6/40.

I suggest also to create strengthened platoons, with three long-gun tanks and with two long-gun and one short-gun tank, in 6/40, representing a choice of tanks after less valuable ones had been left without a fuel (they could be marked eg. with ++/+).
It's also worth to create such company, with, say, four platoons with two long-gun tanks - I believe, it would represent better a mixed company taking part in a last skirmish of Montbard.

There should be also added R-40 tank (194 in a French oob), used in uniform platoons and companies. I believe it's best to give it own class, with separate formations. Picture could be 27549 or 27564.

By the way, R-40 could be given a modified icon, with slightly longer tracks to the rear, and a tail.
