Panzer Battles 2 - The Official Teaser Thread

[Strela]

Great update.

I'm wondering how representative the motorized infantry image is, if it's the current one. As far as I know based on squad composition in other wargames, rifle sections included 8 riflemen, a Brengunner and a man with a Sten.

Aside from any .30 cals mounted on the carriers, I believe motor sections also used British weaponry by this point.

From; http://www.bayonetstrength.150m.com/Brit...201945.htm


Each Rifle Section was commanded by a Corporal, and consisted of a rifle group of six men, and a gun group with a Lance-corporal, gunner and loader.  The Thompson submachine gun was now being increasingly replaced by the British made Sten. 


So yes it wasn't common, but it was still in use. The original photo this was taken from was in Normandy.
