The successors to AH and SPI.
ASL is alive and well, with Valor of the Guards just out -- an ASL campaign focused on the Central Railway Station in Stalingrad.
More recently, The Devil's Cauldron has generated tremendous buzz -- Company-scale game on Market-Garden based on the Victory Games Panzer Commander system.

Yes, it's all in there, in the article I mailed you Nico, TO&Es, etc., etc. Even if D/S beat me to it !  I got an OOP copy of an old Mayfair Game's Hammer's Slammers (based on Panzerblitz game mechanics) from that Boardgames Geeks, IIRC ... I'll give you some quick intell to hold you over Nico, until you get the mail. Most French Tank Companies had 13 AFVs. But the AMC, AMR and B1 had 10. 47mm AT guns were in platoons of 4. 5 Panhards in a plt. 6 105s per plt. BUT that's full strength according to the "manuals" ... does not take in to account breakdowns, crew shortages or combat losses ...
