I have a couple of things to say; first, for a 'division' what you have assembled will probably not go toe-to-toe with almost anyone else's divisions, as most people perfer larger formations, with as many as twenty thousand combat troops. Also, your logistics/combat troops ratio is surprisingly great for someone who has never posted here before. Good job.

One further thing, some of the weapons you have given yourself are slightly out of date ::cough::Bofors::cough::.

Speaking of anti-aircraft guns, the 37mm is probably obsolete by now, I myself use the 88mm, 90mm, and the 105mm guns as anti-aircraft weapons.

Good job for a newbie.

OOC: Well, for all we know from the given information, it might be a modern Bofors, which the Italians seem quite happy with, although as it's simply described as a 40mm Bofors that may not be the case.
As to the 37mm weapons being obsolete, how can you say that without knowing anything more than the bore measurement? It could well be something that's capable of ripping through a previous-generation main battle tank from a mile away with a single round, never mind a helicopter, drone, or strike aircraft, and it could, for all we know, be capable of many hundreds of rounds per minute rate of fire and guided by modern radar backed-up with advanced optics and digital computerisation.
On the other hand, if it's something lifted straight out of WWII, then you'd be entirely correct. I do wonder at the point of having 40mm and 37mm weapons side by side in the same role. Perhaps Okatta's military is desperately under-funded and can't replace one with the other?
And it may be wise to have smaller formations, depending on their intended role and the situation in Okatta. Maybe you know more about that than I do (which is... absolutely nothing).
