>>11048171To expand on it a bit, every unit has designated officer figures, either based on distinct leader poses, arbitrarily designated figs or a combination of both if there are too few leader poses. The Afrika Korps set is a good example of a set that requires a combination of both - there are two distinct officer poses with the flat cap and a third leader pose (guy with raised arm) but there may not be enough to satisfy minimum officer requirements; the difference can be made up of other poses, usually for the lowest ranks.
Unit officer requirements are based on unit type and size: the Afrika Korps is division-strength at over 400 men so has a requirement of a major general, at least one lieutenant general and two or three brigadier generals minimum, with lower ranks in greater numbers accordingly. It is also a special case in having a field marshal (the Desert Fox himself of course). Below the division there's brigade with a lieutenant or major general commanding; battalion with brigadier general or colonel; company with colonel, major or captain commanding; platoon with captain or lieutenant commanding; squad led by a lieutenant or sergeant. There used to be the regiment (a couple units retain this designation, for now anyway) but I found it to be redundant and have largely phased it out.
Ideal unit strengths tend to have significant wiggle room, usually justified by assumed background reasons such as attrition or wartime necessities - a company may have as few as 30 men or as many as 75, with the "official" requirement somewhere in the middle. Ideally there are 2 squads to the platoon, 2 platoons to the company, 2-3 companies to the battalion, 2-3 battalions to the brigade, 2-3 brigades to the division, with every unit theoretically able to be internally structured as such.
