OOB of Tuvan People's Republic
In 1936
Tuvinskaya Narodno-Revolyutsionnaya Armiya (Tuvan People's Revolutionary Army):
- Arattyts Revolystyg Polka sherii (The People's Revolutionary Regiment (Cavalry), 489 soldiers).
 
Some pages back in the mod forum someone made a Turkish Improvement pack or similar which held a proper OOB for Turkey. I think you should check it out, or contact the modder.
 
Red Army 01.01.1936

Infantry :

77 infantry divisions: 5 - 60% HP, 7 - 50% HP, 8 - 40% HP, 9 - 30% HP, 8 - 25% HP, 4 - 20% HP, 36 - 15% HP (it's real historic peace-time staff of all soviet infantry divisions on this moment, divs with 50-60 HP are all in the Far East border)

9 mountain divisions, 5 - 25% HP, 4 - 15% HP (Formally, USSR has 78 infantry and 8 mountain divisions, but one of the infantry divisions located in the Caucasus was essentially a mountain division in its training, although it is officialy named as infantry. In the future it was transformed into mountain division, so you can implement it on 01.01.1936 as you think to be right.)

31 cavalry divisions (they must be “mechanized cavalry", it included 64 (!) light tanks)

6 separate airborne brigades (airborne divisions with current 10% HP and 30 max_HP) In 1936 it was 6 such embryos, and in 1941 USSR will have 6 'airborne corpses'.

1 garrison + LT brigade (NKVD, Moscow special “Dzerzhinskogo” division)

6 HQ (west military districts)

0 marines! (First soviet marines appeared only in 1940)

Historical names of all divisions (by 1936 year!) and their location on map you can see in my Mod.

-----------
On the summer 1935 Red Army had 22 mechanized Cavalry divisions. From this time it began forming of another 9 Cavalry divisions, which was completed by the summer 1936.

One cavalry division have too few staff (6600 men) to be full division Unit (100 HP) in Game, so cavalry units in my Mod made as Cavalry Corps with two cavalry divisions in one Unit (6600+6600 =13200 men = Cavalry unit with 100 HP)
So, 31 cavalry division in my Mod realised as 15,5 Cavalry Units.
Also this soviet Cavalry Unit have 64 + 64 = 128 (!) Light Tanks, so it have 70 Softness and high Attack and high Сost.

Mechanized:

There is info that 01.01.36 Red Army consisted 31 tank brigades (25 “mechanized brigades” + 6 “tank brigades”).
(may be 6 “tank brigades” is mistake, because there were only 1,2,4,5,6 numbers of separate tank regiments, i.e. only 5 brigades)
All these brigades were "separate", this means that they were not for 'attaching' to other divisions, but they used for forming LT/tank-divisions or for independent actions.

In particular:

In 1932-1934 years 8 "mechanized brigades" were formed in 4 LT-divisions (4 “mechanized corpses”)
In 1936 year 1 soviet “mechanized corps”= 2 LT-brigades + 1 infantry brigade = 329 LT)
6 “separate tank brigades” with medium T-28 tanks, should be presented as 4 tank divisions with 10% HP (1,4,5,6 OTTBR RGK) and as 1 attached tank brigade (2 OTTBR RGK near Leningrad) and (not sure but just as 'unknown' 6-th tank brigade) 1 T-35 brigade
11 from 25 “mechanized brigades” were still being formed, since summer 1935
(So, all other brigades should be put in Production List as 8 LT-divisions, with 30-60% of completeness)

Finally we have:

4 light tank divisions, 100% HP. (4 real “mechanized corpses”. №: 5, 7, 20, 45)

4 tank divisions, 10% HP. (newest created special separate tank brigades "Command-in-Chief reserve", which will be deployed in tank division in the future: "10 TTBR RGK", "14 TTBR RGK", "20 TTBR RGK", "21 TTBR RGK")

3 light tank divisions, 60% of completeness in Production List.
5 light tank divisions, 30% of completeness in Production List.

(To make other 17 LT-brigades as 6 brigades in pool + 11 under-construction brigades, OR as 8 under-construction LT-divisions is for your taste and choise, I chose the second option just because it makes more sense for gameplay)

0 motorized and no motorized tech! (First soviet motorized infantry divisions appeared only in 1939 )

OOBSov.jpg
Attached LT-brigades:

If you hope that all soviet tanks run out you're mistaken :)

Every soviet infantry and mountain division (in 1936!!) had one “attached” tank battalion.
Because there are no such small units in the game, we must forming these “attached” battalions in standard “attached” brigades.

in 1936 :
1 soviet “infantry” LT-battalion = 42 light tanks
1 soviet “mountain” LT-battalion = 19 light tanks
1 soviet LT-brigade = 3 LT-battalions = 127 light tanks

78 infantry divisions / 3 = 26 LT-brigades
8 mountain divisions * 19 / 127 = 1 LT-brigade

So, Red Army in Hoi2 must have about 26 + 1 = about 27 “attached” LT-brigades.
Also USSR had about 50 T-35 heavy tanks, i,e. 1 brigade.

Aircraft

I couldn't find the exact information on 01.01.1936 about soviet air force (And about many other countries).
So, I calculated air force of all countries by the number of new aircraft which was produced in last six years: 1930-1935.

USSR:
942b9423f894.jpg
sovair.jpg

Of course we need to subtract 20%-30% of these values for loss during exploitation, but also to take into account that other less mass-produced models were also produced.
Therefore I gave to USSR 16 Fighters (100 in one Unit), 36 Bombers (72 in one Unit, R-5,R6), 24 CAS (72 in One Unit, R-5), 4 Navals (72 in One Unit, MBR-2/R-5 and others), 4 Transports (TB-3 in 1941 was outdated and were more often used not as Strategs but as transports).

I send the Polish OOB who happens in 1936. One problem in it is that the Polish divisions were not subordinated to the armies or corps (except there are few garrisons) therefore, divisions in the organization were distributed throughout the country.

The regiment was supposed to have 78 planes (of different types) , However, 78x6 = 468 , that is aviation in 1936 can not be even stronger than in 1939 (400 aircraft during the September campaign) , on the other hand is possible ,the obsolete aircraft of German and French production were withdrawn from service , however, there was missing a replacement aircrafts and therefore the number of planes decreased.

Sources:
https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizacja_pokojowa_Wojska_Polskiego_II_RP
https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grupa_Aeronautyczna

In 1936 Poland had about 600 tankettes, About 150 tanks of FT-17 and 38 Vickers E tanks and 100 armored car , But these forces were not organized in any division or regiment - but in the battalions. There were 9 armored battalions, also deployed throughout the country.
Anti-aircraft artillery - about 100 cannons completely obsolete.
Anti-tank artillery - complete absence.
 
Thanks for all your great additions!

I have researched the Spanish pre-civil-war OOB Long time ago. I'm sure I've done it well - but somehow I've lost the source. I can't remeber any more from where I've got my info. If I'm right it's the OOB of late 1935.

Since I can't give more Infos on this, I will simply post how it looks in my HoI build:

Ejército de Tierra, Regular Army:
The Republican Army before the Civil War was mostly equipet and organised for Garrison duties. I think this could be simulated greatly with useing garrison divisions. Neverthless, there will be a problem on the outbreak of the SCW - now, all divisions have to be "regular" INF. Due that, I prefere to use locked INF in 1936 which are unlocked via SCW Event.
In october 1936, the army (republican) was renamed to "Ejército Popular de la República".


-1a Cuerpo de Ejército, #460 Madrid
--1a División Orgánica, Infantry Division + 1 Artilelry Brigade + 1 Pioneer Brigade

-Cuerpo de Caballería, #460 Madrid
--División de Caballería, Cavalry-Division

-2a Cuerpo de Ejército, #474 Sevilla
--2a División Orgánica, Infantry Division + 1 Artillery Brigade

-3a Cuerpo de Ejército, #464 Valencia
--3a División Orgánica, Infantry Division + 1 Artillery Brigade

-4a Cuerpo de Ejército, #440 Barcelona

-5a Cuerpo de Ejército, #442 Zaragoza
--5a División Orgánica, Infantry Division + 1 Artillery Brigade

-6a Cuerpo de Ejército, #451 Burgos
--6a División Orgánica, Infantry Division + 1 Artillery Brigade

-7a Cuerpo de Ejército, #448 leon
--7a División Orgánica, Infantry Division + 1 Artillery Brigade

-8a Cuerpo de Ejército, #441 Corunja

--Comandancia Militar de Baleares, Brgiade Strength Garrison/Infantry (STR=30), #475 Balearic Islands

--Comandancia Militar de Canarias, Brgiade Strength Garrison/Infantry (STR=30), #990 Canaries

Ejército de África, Army of Africa/Colonial Army:
The Army of africa was builded by mercs, levies and experienced professional soldiers. This way, the army of africa was by far the strongest part of the Republican Army. The spanish foreign Legion was also in this Formation. In the civil war, the army of africa has supported fully the rebels.

-Ejército de África, #715 Tanger
--Circunscripción Occidental, Infantry, Levies from North Africa
--Circunscripción Oriental, Infantry, Levies from North Africa

-Fuerzas del Sahara , #716 Nador
--Fuerzas Regulares Indígenas, professional North african troops. Regular Infantry. Specialized in mountain warfare, maybe Bergsjaeger are better to represent this unit.
--Legión Española, Spanish foreign Legion, elite unit. Maybe a (modern) Infantry Division or Bergsjager.

Other Units:

There were some other units: In the non-North-african colonies, you had the "Guardias Coloniales", which were kind of police/milita.
Additionally, in continental Spain were several Coastal Artillery Regiments/Battalions/Brigades, but I don't rember where or in which strength.


As I wrote before, I've lost the source. It would be great if some can verify/correct this. :)
 
so, since the new Stellaris DLC is out, I have to update all my Stellaris mods and play a little with all the new Features.
Due that, I will not post new OOBs for maybe a month. Feel free to post your own, I will check the Forum periodically and update the Linklist in post 1.
 
Creating an OOB for the Imperial Japanese Army (or Navy for that matter) c. 1.1.1936 is kind of problematic, since they underwent considerable reorganizations for China and the Pacific War. But let's do this from the top. Also please be aware that this is still very much a WIP and that the IJA was not organized into corps, but the equivalent structure (in-game as well!) the Gun or army. For example: Dai-ichi Gun = 1st Army

-Daihon'ei (Imperial General Headquarters), # Tokyo obviously
--Daihon'ei Shireibu (Imperial General Headquarters) HQ division
---Dai ichi-shidan (1st Division) 1936 infantry division w/appropriate engineer and artillery brigades

-Tōbugun (Eastern District Army), # I don't know exactly where to station it

and extrapolating from Wikipedia, really


 
There are a lot of questions for a japanese OOB.
1st: How to simulate/design the japanese divisions. The japanese army had 3 types of divisions in 1936. Type A, B and C. Type C could be represented by the garrison division. They had 13.ooo soldiers and were used in anti-guerrilla warfare in China. The garrison type division would represent the "anti partisan duties". On the other side they are a bit stronger (and mobile) compared to the DH garrisons. Unfortunately there is no "light division" in DH so the garrison would be the best for the Type C divisions. Fortunately there are no Type C divisions in 1936. So this is more or less a question for mods.
By more important is the Type B and A division. The Type B Division is a division with up to 20.ooo soldiers. They are close to the European triangular divisions with the common 17.ooo soldiers. They fit into a standard DH infantry division. The Type A Division is another story. In 1936 a Type A Division could have up to 32.ooo soldiers. They had often a tank regiment with up to 68 japanese tanks. They had 36 heavy artillery guns (105 and 150mm guns), 24 regimental guns (75mm) and 36x 70mm infantry support guns. That is a lot of firepower. They were often compared with a European army corps in terms of firepower and strength. 32.ooo soldiers is way stronger than a DH infantry division. To get the amount of firepower a corps with 2 divisions would be the best way to represent the Type A divisions in DH (Corps name = division name; division name = brigade name; + 1 artillery brigade and 1 light tank brigade).
2nd: The japanese army had a number of "independent mixed brigades" and "independent infantry brigades". There arent a lot of detailed information about the japanese brigades. As far as i know there were 4 brigades active in 1936 (guards mixed brigade, 1. mixed brigade, China garrison infantry brigade and the 24. mixed brigade). But there is a large chance that i havent found all brigades.
3rd: The Rusu Shidan - the Depot Divisions. The japanese army had a large number of conscription based district training divisions. This Depot Divisions had 10.ooo up to 20.ooo soldiers. Basing on the US Army handbook of the japanese army there were up to 40 Conscription Districts in Japan. 40 Rusu Shidan divisions would be way to much and way to problematic for any japanese OOB. Unfortunately Niehorster listed 10 depot division for 1941 (8 in Japan, 2 in Korea). 10 divisions sounds way better (and more logical) than 40 possible depot divisions. But the information are still very limited and i cant be sure that my numbers are correct.
4th: The japanese cavalry was organised into brigades. The japanese army had 4 cavalry brigades in 1936. The 1. and 4. cavalry brigade was subjected to the IJA Cavalry Group. The 2. and 3. Cavalry Brigade were stationed somewhere in the japanese empire. The japanese cavalry brigade had between 5.ooo and 6.ooo soldiers. So they can be represented by a cavalry division with reduced strength.
5th: The japanese tank troops were organised in tank groups with 3 tank regiments in 1941. Often there are information about a "tank corps/group" during the battle of Khalkhin Gol with 87 (or more) tanks. The point is that there is no information about the tank corps at all. It looks like an adhoc formation. So most of the japanese tanks in 1936 could be represented by light armored brigades attached to divisions like the Type A Divisions. On the other side there is a small chance that the "Khalkhin Gol tank corps" was active in 1936 as part of the Kwantung army (with another name).
6th: The japanese army had a number of auxiliary formations and units. There was an Inner Mongolian Army with 8 divisions with a total strength of 10.ooo soldiers. So you can form a mongolian army with 8 strength reduced cavalry divisions or a single cavalry division with full strength. 8 reduced divisions would add a lot of flexibility. A single division would add a lot of combat power. Another problematic formation is the Grand Han Righteous Army. This is a chinese collaboration army with up to 6.ooo soldiers. They were equipped with captured chinese weapons. In terms of numbers the chinese collaboration army could be a militia divisions. But they were organised and trained by japanese advisors. They were organised and trained. So there are arguments that a militia division wouldnt be a solide representation for the chinese collaboration army.
7th: All in all the japanese army had a lot of small formations and special units for various tasks and missions. There were island defense detachments and formations with 1.ooo and more soldiers on the large japanese islands (Truk, Eniwetok, Saipan, ectpp). They could form strength reduced garrisons. Furthermore there are the SNLF formations (special navy landing forces). This units werent as big as the US marines divisions. They were small, mobile and assigned for amphibious operations when needed. They had between 5oo and 25oo soldiers in 1936. So they could be represented by marine divisions to represent the japanese naval landing forces. So there are reasons to add all this small formations. On the other side they werent division sized units. So basing on this point of view there are argument to add none of the small formations. That is decision you have to make for a japanese OOB.

32.ooo soldiers is way stronger than a DH infantry division. To get the amount of firepower a corps with 2 divisions would be the best way to represent the Type A divisions in DH (Corps name = division name; division name = brigade name; + 1 artillery brigade and 1 light infantry brigade).

Incidentally I made old Japan divisions as unique not upgradability Unit with 164 STR and +30 Org, +20 MOR. (Attack and MP increased automatically proportionally to STR)
(I don't know what's true, but in russian resources there are info that Japan Type A divisions = 24600 men, so 15 000 (100STR) to 24 600 = 164 STR.)
In 1938 Player can reorganize these old type divisions by Event in standard upgradability infantry-39 Units (if he wants to lose such imba Unit, hehe :D).

I found the 32.000 type A division at Mr Jowetts book and at niehorster.org. The problem is that there are no strength information for 1936. Here is the Niehorster quote:
On paper, this type of division had about 25,000 men. But the divisions were seldom as neat and tidy as the diagram above. Elements were consistently being attached or detached, so that some divisions had as few as 17,000 men and some as others as many as 32,000.
I think it is okay to work with the 24600. For TRP i'm using our "elite infantry model" because of the better stats. Not ideal but i dont want to add an other new division type. Perhaps i will add such a division in the future.

In December 1941 there were still 8 Type A square divisions in the imperial japanese army (3., 5., 13., 18., 19., 20., 110., 116. Division).
