Infantry Support Weapon (2 or 3 Figs.) – 38 × 38 mmĪ German infantry section of WW2 marched together, but fought in two groups: Schützentrupp (rifle group) and l.MG-Trupp.Infantry Group, Half-Squad, or Fire Team (3 Figs.) – 50 × 38 mm.Infantry Section or Squad (4 Figs.) – 60 × 38 mm.Company Commander (2 Figs.) – 38 × 38 mm.Battalion Commander (3 Figs.) – 38 × 38 mm.In close combat, the wider base receives a +1 bonus to account for its greater strength. We use different base sizes to indicate the nominal troop strength of a tactical manœuvre elements. To simulate better articulation we deploy elite infantry on half-squad or fire team stands. Elite UnitsĮlite units are much better articulated than regular infantry, they fight in smaller tactical subunits and their individual members tend to take more initiative. Using prone firing, and crawling figures to indicate pinnend and ground-hugging status makes good economic sense, because it allows us to deploy all the superfluous prone figures we do not normally mount on our wargame figure stands. Crawling Figure – green – Ground-hugging.We also colour-code our status markers red, yellow, and green, to indicate the severity of a marker. Using the same "out of ammunition" or "no fire" status marker in two different games makes it much easier to remember the meaning of a particular marker.
"NO FIRE" status is indicated with existing ammunition box status markers developed for the Fire and Fury ACW game System. We use squad status markers which make it easier to differentiate between "surpressed" and "pinned". To save time, expert modellers may want to make a silicon mould and cast many copies of a particular casualty figure. Large gaps may be filled with Rai-Ro modelling wax or putty prior to painting. Carefully press the figure parts into the wet filler and align them as desired. Cover an irregularly shaped plywood base with household filler and texture it to resemble rough ground. The casualty figures, too, are damaged or unattractive miniatures cut apart at the joints and reassembled in a relaxed or slightly contorted pose. We used the heads and upper bodies of standing riflemen to create infantry in foxholes. Status markers indicating "entrenched" and "suppressed" squads in a Crossfire game.
