First post-war rifle companies F-45, there were three types, all three in the same time.

F-45 rifle company, old type based on pre-war infantry company F-40.


F-45, british type. During and after the war, Yugoslavia had obtain many western equipment, mostly american and british, so I put british made weapons in british type company on purpose, but in reality that was not the rule.


And finaly soviet type.


Captured german weapons are used as well, especially K98k and MG42.

Submachine gun company F-45.

Rifle company F-47.

Rifle Company F-54.

F-62 rifle company. German helmets were used in some occasions before introduction of domestic M-59.

Great work!

Just one question: although You decided to use NATO symbol for company and for squads, for some reason You preferred not to use for platoons?

Well, yes. My idea was to present company in basic elements-squads, so I didn't mean that medium level-platoon symbols are necessary.

I could do that, but since I started this way I'll stick to it.

F-69 Infantry company.

Cool! Keep it up!
