Infantry

[Red Comrade]

Can soldiers pick up an enemy weapons?

[Pvt.Tom]

No

Scavenging is abstracted in the fact that infantry never runs out of ammo, they just go to low. This is really more for ammo though. The weapon composition of a squad never changes except due to casualties.

According to the CMBO manual, when a unit's ammo reads LOW, they are reduced to sidearms only; no rifles, MG's, or other similar weaponry. Sidearm ammo lasts indefinitely.

I'm quite sure that this is not correct, Admiral. Check the firepower value for a unit which is low on ammo and you'll find out that it is not decreased. They only fire rarly, often only once per turn or when the enemy is very close.

From the manual that shipped with 1.03

...This signals that the unit will fire only in self defense, and even then only infrequently and at reduced strength. This simulates the occasional scrounging of ammo off the battlefield as well as exchanging the last few clips between squad members.

Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.

But if somehow my skiff goes down, I'll freeze to death before I drown.

And pray my body will be found, Alaska salmon fishing, boys, Alaska salmon fishing.
