Re: FIRE TEAMS IN SG II

It depends largely on the army your using. In WW2 the
armies had vastly different MTO&Es ,SOPs and tactics.
The Germans for example built the squad around the MG
were it was used as the main offensive weapon with the
riflemen in support. The US army had only a BAR auto-rifle
in the squad all other heavy MGs were in the heavy weapons
platoon detached to support the rifle squads at need. The
one thing that is very different from today is that the squads
were larger and tended to stay together and not brake into
fire teams with the exception of the Germans where the
riflemen could maneuver while the MG was in over watch.
