plAtoon HQ Section with: 2 Assault Squads 90 points 1 Assault Squad 65 points Mines and tank traps seem to litter every acre of the Low Countries, vexing our advance on the German homeland. To keep the division moving forward, small detachments of pioneers use their special training and equipment to clear the way for our advance. plAtoon 4 Carrier Patrols 345 points 3 Carrier Patrols 260 points 2 Carrier Patrols 175 points 1 Carrier Patrol 90 points optionS • Arm any or all Universal Carriers with an extra hullmounted MG for +5 points per carrier. • Replace up to one extra hull-mounted MG with a hull-mounted .50 cal MG per Carrier Patrol for +5 points per carriers. • Replace up to one extra hull-mounted MG with a PIAT anti-tank projector per Carrier Patrol at no cost. Carrier Patrols are Reconnaissance Platoons. Carrier Patrols operate as separate platoons, each with their own command team. The infantry company’s carrier platoon provides much needed reconnaissance, mobility and supporting fire to the infantry platoons. As the German army becomes more dispersed, the carrier’s ability to cover ground quickly becomes invaluable to keep up the attack and to prevent any hastily laid defensive positions from delaying the advance.

The smoke and high explosive shells of our 3” mortars provide cover and keep the Germans’ heads down as we launch our attack. This invaluable close support artillery frees the division’s artillery regiments to concentrate on high priority targets. Add Troop and Loyd Carriers for +5 points for the platoon. The infantry battalions in an armoured division were always very well equipped with anti-tank guns. Whoever was foolish enough to attack them often found themselves in trouble due to the sustained and accurate fire of the battalion’s superb anti-tank gun platoon. mortAr plAtoon Observer Rifle Team 3” mortar Anti-tAnk plAtoon Subaltern Subaltern Command Rifle team Troop Carrier Sergeant 6 pdr gun Loyd carrier 6 pdr gun Loyd carrier Anti-tank Section 6 pdr gun Loyd carrier Subaltern Subaltern Command Rifle team Troop Carrier HQ Section Sergeant PIAT team Mortar Carrier 3” mortar Mortar Carrier Mortar Section Observer Rifle Team Sergeant 3” mortar PIAT team 3” mortar Mortar Platoon HQ Section Sergeant Observer Rifle Team 3” mortar Mortar Section Anti-tank Section Anti-tank Platoon Sergeant 3” mortar Mortar Carrier Mortar Section Mortar Carrier Mortar Carrier Sergeant 6 pdr gun Loyd carrier 6 pdr gun Loyd carrier Anti-tank Section 6 pdr gun Loyd carrier PIAT team Mortar Carrier
