Working on a complete german infantry regiment supported by a stug battalion and with a panzer battalion for reinforcement for the eastern front about september 42 in the southern sector.
I've got a polish book on 'fall blau' which states that some tropical camouflaged AFV's that were destined for the desert were sent to the russian front to replace the large losses and thats why my Panzer battalion has its panzer IIs and IIIs in desert colours.
just need to stick some more men to bases to complete
