======================================================1750p, 7 Platoons

Seguimos con otra versión del popular Panzer Kampfgruppe. Con una estructura de 7 pelotones, y sin posibilidad de hacer, a su vez, KG, esta formación es un tanto inusual. A pesar de tratarse de una Compañía Acorazada, cuenta tan sólo con 8 carros, y apenas 3 pelotones capaces de asaltar con ciertas garantías. La Compañía está bien equipada para controlar mesas abiertas, con buenas líneas de tiro, bajo el paraguas de largo alcance de los FlaK y los Jagdpanther, pero los carros principales son poco maniobrables, y fuera de ahí hay poca capacidad de proyectar fuerza.

And now, another version of the wildly popular Panzer Kampfgruppe. With a 7-Platoon structure and deprived of the German KG ability, this Trained formation is quite unusual. Albeit it remains a Tank Company, it sports just 8 of them, and only 3 Platoons hardly capable of Assaulting. It is well suited to control open fields, with good shooting lanes, enabling the main strike force to maneuver under the long range AT umbrella provided by the FlaK and the Jagdpanthers. Still, the armoured core is helplessly slow, and outside it, the Company has little capability of projecting force.

======================================================1745p, 7 Platoons

Chendo ha actualizado su Compañía de Churchills haciendo hueco a un segundo pelotón de infantería, un 2iC y un AOP. Para ello ha renunciado a las 2 patrullas de Carriers y a la mitad de sus 25pdr. Aunque resulte una formación con pelotones impares, el hecho de disponer de 'Always Attacks' mitiga esa desventaja. La Compañía tiene una pegada tremenda contra infantería, con cuatro buenos pelotones para asaltar y 3 temibles Cocodrilos, pero poca capacidad AT al margen de los frágiles Achilles, y un AOP un tanto desaprovechado, sirviendo a una batería de 2 piezas.

Chendo has recently updated his Churchill Company, making room for a second Infantry Platoon a 2iC and an AOP. In exchange, he gave up both Carrier Patrols and half its 25pdrs. Although it sports an odd number of Platoons, its 'Always Attacks' ability mitigates that disadvantage effectively. The Company is utterly effective against dug in infantry, amassing four good assaulting Platoons and 3 fearsome Crocodiles, but lacks AT capacity outside the fragile Achilles Platoon, and the AOP is somewhat wasted, serving just a 2-gun Battery.
