Farhenheit451 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Why Brits section of infantry is reduced to 7 men?? From what I now they've got 8 men in each section. Only reason for such limitation is warrior number of seats, but in case of bradleys, devs increased number of passengers able to be taken on board. In Brits module manual its clearly stated that section has 8 men, no mention of any intentional reduction or anything else, like in case of bradleys mentioned earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 The section in the Armoured Infantry Battalion is seven based on the capacity of the Warrior and reflects the TO&E of the period in which the module was set. Light and Mech Role Battalions have a section strength of eight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farhenheit451 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Thanks. Its strange that Brits are not using same team arrangement in each type of infantry battalions. Platoon leader team consists of 4 men that leaves 3 empty seats in their Warrior for relocating 3 men from platoon sections, making possible 8 men section mounted in IFVs. But whatever, Brits are strange.. no offense;). Thanks again for reply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVulture Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 The mechanised infantry do have 8 men per section - it's just that one of them crews in the warrior AFV (i.e. the 8 man section gets an AFV but has to crew it themselves) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Is Brit doctrine that the Warrior requires crew as it is expected to support the inf, or is it primarily just a transport to get the inf safely to their objective? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
