Can you enlighten me on the headcount for an Army group, a division, a battalion, a company, etc? I'd appreciate it :-)

It depends on the type of unit but in "ball park" figures:

Company = 150-200
Battalion = 700-1000
Division = 14,000 - 20,000
Army Group would depend on the number of Divisions and supporting units

If anyone has better numbers, I'd be interested.
