Fourth Section
Back from a weeks holiday in Sorrento, but I did manage to get these guys painted either side of the holiday.
My fourth British Infantry section - an important and flexible potential Support purchase. I have used figures from the Peter Pig pack 488. British Late War rifles advancing in light kit. This differentiates this section from my core three sections who form the base platoon. Not that it can be seen in the photos but I have painted the shoulder titles for these figures in dark green reflecting that they are members of 1st Rifle Brigade, the Motor Battalion for 7th Armoured Division. My core infantry platoon are painted with red shoulder titles as they belong to 1/5th Queens Royal Regiment and are wearing haversacks.
The cost for an additional British infantry section is five support points but fielding a fourth section allows for a lot of manoeuvre potential, particularly for an attacker, and adds a further 12 FP dice (excluding the JL) to the equation. Paired with a SL this section can provide a potent base of fire (utilising both "Five Rounds Rapid" and "Concentrated Fire" in the same phase) while still allowing for two manoeuvre sections and a reserve section.
