    Hi,

    I’m currently thinking about building a Gebirgsjäger Force, more precisely the 5th Gebirgjäger mountain division.

    Which list in line with the Easy army application do you recommend me to use?

    Are there specific Gebirgjäger support weapons and transport vehicles that I should consider?

    Are there specific Gebirgjäger support weapons and transport vehicles that I should consider?

    This is from the latest FAQ, but I’m sure the concept applies to all. Including a Gebirgsjäger Force, so this should help some:

    “I want to collect an army of paratroopers. However there are no
    specific paratrooper officers, snipers, MMG teams, etc to go with my
    paratroopers squads. The same goes for all units of infantry with
    special rules, like commandos, gurkhas etc.

    We assume that the special rules only apply to the ‘proper’
    (and normally larger) squads of paratroopers, but not to their
    HQs and support teams, as they are not big enough for the
    rule to ‘come into play’, or that their tactical role is different, as
    represented by their own special rules or specialised weaponry.
    So, we normally just select officers and support teams of the
    same quality as the relative infantry squads – in the case of
    paratroopers for example, choose all of your officers and support
    teams as Veterans – they are not going to be as hard as the men,
    but still not bad. Also, when possible equip them with weapons
    that make them as similar as possible to their ‘main troops’. For
    example, equip Gurkha HQs with submachine guns, so they
    become exactly as effective as Tough Fighters in close quarters.”
