Moving Mg's, HMG's & Mortars on foot

[Broompatrol]

I tried searching previous threads so forgive me if this has been covered.

I have realized I suck at moving my support units on foot. This is basically anybody who can't use the advance command: Mg's, AT-rifles. mortar's. ETC.

What's been happening is my little guys successfully advance and push the enemy back. The small mortars and mg's get left behind and useless because of terrain or range. Bazookas and PIATs need to stay near their platoons anyway, correct? When my guys scoot up "ping, pow" pinned in the open, very annoying.

Sometimes you just have to reposition them and the poor buggers often get the worst of it. I should be tried for war crimes considering how many PIAT teams have died under my command.

Any help is appreciated and please don't say "that's what tanks are for "

Repositioning mortars and MGs is a nasty job when you are up close with the enemy.

They are slow, this makes them easy to surpress and keep surpressed.

The fact that you and I are in a game means that I am probably not the one to answer you.

But sooner or later JasonC will clue you in.
