Polish OOB question

[void1984]

There's a problem with "Vickers Tk Sec" in September '39. It has no available tank to buy at that point.
That's because Poland has many incarnation of "Vickers E Mk.A" for different periods (units 638 - 642), and platoon and company formations have 2 incarnations each (formation 384 - 387) for two periods '30.01 - '33.12 and '34.01 - '39.9, while the Section has only one (formation 373), for the whole period of '30.01 - '39.10.

Additionally "Vickers E Mk.A", unit 638 seems not to be assigned to Poland in the Nation field.

Can you explain me what's the point of having a basic rifle in a slot different then 1, like the Polish unit 284, as it's not multiplied by the number of men? I understand that everybody took their time with a rifle during shooting of slot 1.

Point one has been entered onto the list and will be looked into when I start reviewing the OOB's

Point two, the short answer is there was a time in the past when other people worked on the OOB's and felt the need to fill up every weapon slot with something.

In the big scheme of things the effect on the game is negligible and we've left units like that alone

Thanks, that answers also why I could see a pistol in weapon slot 4 of a regular infantry squad.

I'd thought we'd fixed all of those. Obviously not, maybe it was MBT, IDK it's had to keep track of everything done across two games and 120+ OOB's but I've made another note to check for those again.

The reason for 373 has no units in the game is because unit 638 is re-nationalized to nation 99 BECAUSE it's a duplicate of U-449 and once 449 is entered as the placeholder in f-373 instead of u-638 ( and f-384, 385 and 386 ) the "problem" will go away.

What I will be sorting out later in the year is why our automatic checks missed that ( and no doubt some others as well )
