Howdy Mike! This is just based on my experience as a light infantryman. Generally speaking, LMG teams don’t move around by themselves, they’re usually attached to some other unit; either attached to a squad to beef up a squad-level mission, or with the other LMG team and a fire team for security as part of the support element in a platoon-sized operation. Generally speaking, the patrol leader doesn’t move with/direct the fire of the gun teams. The leader moves with the maneuver element. Usually the assistant patrol leader/platoon sergeant directs the support element’s fires. IDK why Warlord Games doesn’t allow LMG teams as an independent element, there ARE every other kinda teams; AT rifle teams, flamethrower teams, MMG teams, etc, etc. Then again, I’ll fall back on my usual arguments; A) In WWII, the Germans were the only army with an ACTUAL LMG, everyone else was using an automatic rifle, except for the few US units that had the 1919A6 Brownings. B) I content that most a the game designers at Warlord don’t actually know squat about firearms. One guys $.02….
