hi after a long a deep dive in to the russian army's organization (IG is organized uncanny similar) i have come up with this chart (i know that division and corp can be a mix up by me but it is to make a death korps bigger)

what do you think and is it usable

Yes, it is usable ... And that is not only valid for the Russians but most Armies.   Generally, an Army is 2-4 Corps, a Corps = 2-4 Divs., a Div = 3 Rgts or Bdes, a Rgt/Bde =  3-5 Bns, a Bn = 4-6 Co. and a Co. = 3-4 Plts.  It's not unheard of an Army having more then 4 Corps and a Corps having more than 4 Divs either.  A 2 Bn Rgt is rarer but it's not unheard of ... And as a matter of fact I based my IG on SM1 MTO&Es and each Bn there only has 2 companies + 4 Bn Spt units ...

How many BN do you field in your SM1 MTO&Es Imperial Regiment?

So 6-10 Comp./Regiment

In which way you include your SHtanks
for example:
a SHtank regiment copuld be formed out of 30 tanks
3=Comp.
2-5 Comps/BN
2-5BN/Regiment but I think its a bit silly this way

Maybe I will setup the SHtanks
like the germans WW2 Heavy Tank BN in 1944(Caen,Falaise)
where they had heavy tank Bn with Tiger and Tiger2 tanks

about 5 Comp./BN
so you have 15 SHtanks/BN
2 armoured and 1 Shtank BN may form a Regiment

Sounds that usefull for you guys?

Yes, we follow the SM1 TO&Es/Lists with a little of SM2, E40K, E:A added ...  So 6-10 Companies is correct ...   An Infantry Co. must have a minimum of 2 Infantry Detachments/Units as do Armor units. A Company may have up to 4 Detachments(Platoons)/Units ...   Heavy Tanks are handled as simply as an Armored Co. may have 2-4 MBT(Russes)Dets/Plts and 0-2 Hvy Dets/Plts. I have some Tank Cos. that have 2-4 MBT Dets/Plts. and the other Co. has 1-2 Hvy Dets.  This is simliar to early German Tiger 1 Cos. Where there were 2 Plts of MK.IIIs & 2 Plts of Tiger Is ...   Also a Rgt may have up to 8 Dets/Plts attached. So to simulate elements of a Separate Hvy Tank Bn(the way some Tiger I Bns were organized mid-War), you could have your Rgt supported by up to 8 Dets/Plts of Hvy Tanks (like Baneblade/Showdowswords etc.).

Did you mean with Hvy Tanks Dets/Plts 1 SHT  or 3
If you mean 1, I have to include them in my regiment as detachments
If you mean 3 I can use/set up an Armoured Comp.(LR) alongside with a super SHT Comp.
to form up 1 Comp.

Its a bit tricky because if I include 3 or more SHT Comp per regiment
I easily get more than 6-10 Comp.
