@avernos sorry was thinking more about foot LRDG than standard infantry.

Your right though looking at most of starter sets seems to be a box of 30 infantry, and a tripod mg.

Of course you have never played Wayne, many years ago when the old Platoon 20 brought out Normandy ranges, on the way to Northern Militarre (boy I’m ageing myelf) we decided to start a infantry based game on above, I went British Paras , Don Maddox went German and Wayne Went Russian, we were supposed to have a platoon each and little bit of supporting armour.

I went a recon troop of M5 Stuarts (mainly as found some nice resin kits at same show)one being the turretless one.

Don went mainly Hanomags with an Skdz 10 with 75mm and then Wayne!!!

We turned up to play 1st game and he had being buying, the game ended up being a fictional 1945 with Paras supporting the Germans against what ended up being the 5th Guards tank army with supporting cavalry!!!!!
