Choosing your forces Here are some guidelines for choosing your forces: 1. You must take the compulsory minimums of whichever force you choose. 2. Make the points value up to 2100 by choosing from the options list. 3. Any leftover points are lost. 4. Refer to the Late War PDF files for British and American forces for detail. 5. Make sure your unit is historically accurate in terms of its parent formation ( for example 52 nd Lowland Division) 6. When you choose your force please name the platoon commanders as this will be important during the campaign.
