Here’s a slightly more detailed look at the 4th Indian Division’s OOB for the outset of Crusader.
It’s from gregpanzerblitz.com , so comes already “pre-translated” into “gamer-language” for us.
Each “x1” count here is a platoon, troop, or battery for artillery.
So, for instance, 7th Indian Brigade would have a battery of 76mm mortars, a section of trucks to carry them around, probably other HQ units and trucks. Then three line battalions (1st Bn/Royal Sussex, 4th Bn/11th Sikh, 4th Bn/16th Punjab). Each of these would have 12 line platoons of rifles (organized into four companies, I would imagine), a platoon of engineers, and two sections of Bren carriers.
I also have access to 7th Armoured OOB at this time, Tobruk Garrison (70th Infantry, 32nd Army Tank Brigade, Polish Carpathian Rifle Brigade), South Africans, New Zealanders, other XIII and XXX Corps UK units, etc.
And of course the Germans and Italians. 😀
