LMG : a wasting of money

[Soldier]

I don't worry about whether they kill many enemy soldiers or not.. :-)
I set them up in forward "trigger wire" defensive positions.
Covering, or scouting my flanks when advancing.
An another god tactic is to hurry up with a few of them to take over a flag, in a meeting engagement. Ambush enemy infantry as it approaches same flag in the open and absorb enemy artillery barrage, as it is dropped to soften up same position, for a counterattack by enemy infantry. (believe me, they survive an enemy artillery barrage, lot better than fool compliment infantry squads do.. :-)

My infantry squads are waiting a mere 150 to 200 yards behind, to advance into flag position, immediately after enemy barrage is lifted, etc..
So basically, they are good for screening, scouting and artillery fodder.. :-)
