That's what I was talking about Web. I was thinking about the units mentioned in "Escape from Kalisz" when I wrote my last post but I was too lazy to look it up and cite it. Thanks.

It makes sense that the platoon would go. Or perhaps a reinforced rifle squad would be called a platoon. Whatever.

I too am a fan of the Kampfgruppe concept. Seems like a neat way to create a mixed unit made up of various NATO nationalities. A lot of PbP games, at least, seem to include player parties made up of many different nationalities of PC and sometimes it seems a stretch to explain how they all got together (or ran into each other in the same AO). Multinational Kamfgruppen would take care of that.
