Kingfish Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 According to CMAK, a full strength Fallschirmjager squad circa March '44 consisted of 12 men, 6 armed with the K98 rifles, 4 armed with the MP40 SMG and 2 with MG42 LMGs. The platoon HQ consisted of one man equipped with a pistol, 1 with a MP40 SMG and 2 with K98 rifles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braxen Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 thank you kingfish, but no FG42? I thought they were used at Cassino? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 You are probably right about the FG42 at Cassino, but in any event CMAK does not model this weapon (AFAIK). A check of FJ units in '45 only shows the K98, MP44, MP40 and MG42s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braxen Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 yes, thanks King, I found an online Data Base for CMAK. The next enigma that leaves me perplexed is how many FG42 should there be in the squad and in place of what other weapon?... hmm, mystery I haven't found much data so far on the net, mostly description of the FG42 :-( 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
