I've been going through the Finnish oob, and re-doing it partly, this is what I've come up with infantry regiments so far:
144 x rifle squad, however I've read that often companies only had 3 rifle platoons, and 4th only existed on paper. So perhaps the max strenght should thus 108 rifle squads, but the units start with 144.
3 x 120mm mortar assigned, increasing to 9 as the war progresses.
9 x 81mm mortar
10-20 SMG squads, increasing to 50 by 1944. AFAIK, there were no SMG squads, instead the rifles were simply replaced with SMG on the rifle squads. Normally a rifle squads consisted of LMG, SMG and 6 rifles. But since HRS's are for Germans, it's best to just add SMG squads.
6 x AT-Gun, still researching on what AT-guns they had.
36 x Heavy machineguns.
4 x engineer sqauds. The engineers were organised into Engineer battalions, which were subordinate untis to divisions.
20 x jaegar squads. I'm not quite sure what these should be. Assault sqauds? HRS's? Not Rifle squads that's for sure.
21 x Rifle AT+ Squads. Each Company had an 'antitank squad' which consisted of 1 SMG, 8 rifles and 4 AT rifles. Also Machinegun companies had an anti-tank platoon(4 AT-sqauds). The best way to represent this is with with Rifle AT+ squads.
I also checked the finnish HQ artillery, and re-did and as a result the untis lost 1-4 'attack' strenght.
