1st Army File from the poll: Turning Tide - Ranger Battalion (Normandy)

The first file of the Poll is done.
It is the file that had 1st place: Ranger Battalion (Normandy).

Something new is added in this file.
Row 12 of the Ranger Company sheet. Here you first select an Assault Division.
Some of the support platoons, Boat section and  Assault Engineer Combat platoon (left out the DD Tank platoon because this one is already rated as Confident Trained and has the same point cost in both the 1st and 29th Assault company), that can support the Ranger Company can be from the 1st or 29th Assault Division.
Selecting an Assault Division is important to get the right Skill and Motivation and the right point cost for the platoons. Standard it is set on 1st Assault Division.

Although I added this new feature to the file it ain't sure it will stay. There are some things unclear for the Ranger Battalion on the subject of which Assault Division supports the Rangers.
On page 186 of Turning Tide it nowhere says how it should be done, like in other forces, and there are no markings in the diagram. So I asked a question on the forum, see this LINK, and hope that BF will come up with an answer.

There is, as always,  an Excel 2003, Excel 2007 and an OpenOffice version.

The links:
- Army Excel Files. (Page on my blog)
- Flames of War Army Excel Files.

Thanks for reading.
