LMG : a wasting of money

[cargol]

Me i use LMGs either to create an artificial troop concetration in the attack
sending 5-6 in the open so my opponent will start spending his artillery thinking that he got one or more Plts in the open or he will expose some of his MGs.
Given the fact that a conscript LMG is worth 5 points, with 30 points i can either force my opponent to spend some valuable arty or if not my LMG will move forward and gain some valuable intel.
In defence i am buying and place them in front of the Main line of defence in order to slow down the opponent (gain some turns)and to make him waste some of his ammo(occasionally they are also killing some infantry :})
In some cases those cheap LMGs have been proved usefull.
