Actually no. They would not fire like a Bren Gun squad.
In a three Bren Carrier section, one Bren carries the Bren gun, the second carries an anti tank rifle, while third carries a 50 mm mortar.
Kinda a hodge podge of armament that tries to do everything to support a Bren Infantry squad. Very 1930's, early mobilized forces, thinking?
I love the Bren carrier. Otto von Blotto is currently kicking my butt, mostly by the early use of his Bren carriers. :eek1:
HSL
How does he do that? Are there some basic guidelines or principles that can be followed to be more effective with bren carriers?
