The 1st Marine Brigade was heavily reinforced for mobile operations in the ADZ, notably through the additional hovercraft of the 15th Cav Regt and GEV transport for the Marine Bns. Sufficient heavy units were added to establish a firm beach head for follow on units. 1st Marine Brigade (Reinforced) (Mar Regt shield pic) Brigade HQ 2 Command Posts 3 LGEV 3 GEV 3 Hovertrucks 1st Marine Battalion 2nd Marine Battalion 4th Marine Battalion 15th Light Armoured Cavalry Bn Independent Amphibious Armour Squadron 2 LGEV, 4 GEV Marine Artillery Battalion 1 Hvy Battery: 2 Troops of 2 HWZ each 1 Mdm SP Battery: 2 Troops of 2 MHWZ each Marine Engineering Company 9 ENG Squads, 3 GEV-PCs, 3 Hovertrucks 3rd Marine APC Squadron: 9 GEV-PC Hovercraft Transport Squadron 18 Hovertrucks 1st Marine AA Bty 1 Laser Tower, 2 Laser Turrets (field transportable, not mobile) The Argentinean Marine Battalion is a multi-role Heavy Infantry formation specialising in strike and assault missions. Organic hover transport capable of lifting one Coy and the HW units of the Support Company gives the Battalion good battlefield flexibility. Battalion HQ- 3 MAR Squads 4 Line Companies, each: 8 MAR squads, 1 MAR HW Squad Support Coy: Recon Section: 4 LGEVs Fire Support Section: 6 HW Squads, 2 GEV-PCs Transport Section: 3 GEV-PCs The Light Armoured Cavalry Regiments of the Argentinean Army are designed as fast highly mobile units trained to conduct scouting, raid and assault support missions. When operating with Infantry units, such as the Marine Battalions, the GEVs of the Cav Regiments add considerable punch to the formation and are typically used in flanking maneuvers and in blocking positions. The 15th Regt deployed to the ADZ was usually deployed in Squadron formations supporting Marine Battalions, with the slower missile tanks of the Fire support troop deployed in rear areas to bolster command post defences.

Haven't finished the HQ part or the Brigade Troops, but you get the idea... (Note that the brigade totals are just for the battalions and FSC, so far, as those are the ones detailed) --------- Maneuver Brigade HQ Company -- NDY Brigade Troops -- NDY Brigade Artillery -- NDY Brigade Support -- NDY 2 Mobile Battalions 1 Motorized Battalion 1 Fast Strike Company --------- Totals: 22 HGEV, 92 GEV, 22 LGEV, 43 GEV-PC, 17 LGEV-PC, 72 InfPlt, 11 EngPlt, 7.7 RcnPlt, 80 Hovertrucks, 3 GEV-HQ --------- Mobile Battalion Battalion HQ Company: HQ Lance: 1 GEV-HQ, 4 LGEV Guard Lance: 2 HGEV, 4 GEVs, 4 Infantry Platoons 1 Engineer Platoon, 1 Recon Platoon Transport Pool: 12 Hovertrucks 1st Company: 1st and 2nd Lances: 4 GEVs each 3rd Lance: 2 GEV-PCs, 2 Infantry Platoons, 2 Hovertrucks Recon Lance: 2 LGEVs, 1 LGEV-PC, 1 Recon Squad 2nd Company 1st Lance: 4 GEVs 2nd Lance: 4 GEVs 3rd Lance: 2 GEV-PCs, 2 Infantry Platoons, 2 Hovertrucks Recon Lance: 2 LGEVs, 1 LGEV-PC, 1 Recon Squad 3rd Company 1st Lance: 4 HGEVs 2nd Lance: 4 HGEVs 3rd Lance: 6 GEVs 4th Lance: 3 GEV-PCs, 2 Infantry Platoons, 1 Engineer Platoon, 2 Hovertrucks 4th Company 1st Lance: 4 GEVs 2nd Lance: 3 GEV-PCs, 3 Infantry Platoons 3rd Lance: 3 GEV-PCs, 3 Infantry Platoons 4th Lance: 3 GEV-PCs, 2 Infantry Platoons, 1 Engineer Platoon, 2 Hovertrucks 1st and 2nd are Line Companies, while the 3rd is a Heavy Company The 4th is a more defense company to grab and hold ground, deal with a counter attack, and replace losses in the other companies. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd include infantry to deal with enemy overrun attempts, of course. 1st and 2nd might be better off with 3 GEV-PCs and infantry to match. --------- Totals: 10 HGEV, 30 GEV, 8 LGEV, 16 GEV-PC, 2 LGEV-PC, 18 InfPlt, 3 EngPlt, 1.6 RcnPlt, 20 Hovertrucks, 1 GEV-HQ --------- Motorized Battalion TO&E HQCoy.

The other three are there to provide a lot of infantry. 2nd company being more mobile than 3rd or 4th, but those being cheaper. --------- Totals: 2 HGEV, 24 GEV, 6 LGEV, 11 GEV-PC, 1 LGEV-PC, 36 InfPlt, 4 EngPlt, 1.3 RcnPlt, 40 Hovertrucks, 1 GEV-HQ --------- Fast Strike Company 1st and 2nd Lances: 4 GEVs each 3rd Lance: 6 LGEV-PCs, 2 Recon Platoons 4th Lance: 6 LGEV-PCs, 1 Recon Platoon, 1 Engineer Platoon I just love this one. Everything moves 4/3 and it has 4 platoons of infantry! --------- Totals: 8 GEVs, 12 LGEV-PC, 1 EngPlt, 3 RcnPlt --------- HQ Lnc. : 1 GEV-MCP, 2 GEV-HWZ, 1 Platoon Engineers, 1 GEV-PC, 3 Hovertrucks 1st Lnc. : 3 SHvGEV 2nd Lnc. : 4 HvGEV 3rd Lnc. : 6 GEV 4th Lnc. : 4 Platoons Marines, 4 GEV-PC Elite and Expensive. Your basic In-Your-Face Heavy Armor From The Sea Unit. Note it has its own Engineer platoon attached and GEV-based artillery. If you only want "official" units then make 1st and 2nd Lances the same as the 3rd, or throw in some LGEVs. Add a 5th Lance the same as the 4th for extra staying power. They're not going to get kicked off the beach easily. HQ Lnc. : 1 GEV-MCP, 2 GEV-HWZ, 3 GEV-Msl 1st Lnc. : 4 HvGEV 2nd and 3rd Lances: 4 GEV each 4th Lnc. : 4 Platoons Marines, 4 GEV-PC 5th Lnc. : 4 Platoons Marines plus HeavyWeapons, 4 GEV-PC Support Section: 6 HoverTruck More common form of Amphibious Assault Company. Still, it's nasty. 1st Lnc. : 4 HvGEV 2nd Lnc. : 6 GEV 3rd Lnc. : 6 GEV HQ Lnc. : 1 GEV-MCP, 1 GEV-HWZ, 2 HoverTruck 2 Platoons Marines, 2 GEV-PC Off the beach, this is the Armor-Unit-Of-The-Line 1st Lnc. : 4 Platoons Marines, 4 GEV-PC 2nd Lnc. : 4 Platoons Marines, 4 GEV-PC 3rd Lnc. : 2 Platoons Marines, 4 GEV-PC 2 Platoons Marine Engineers HQ Lnc. : 1 GEV-MCP, 1 GEV-HWZ, 2 GEV, 2 HoverTruck More common than all of the others put together. These and the HoverArmor would form up at about a 2:1 ratio, or a 1:1 ratio in dire situations and do most of the damage. | ![]() | |
