On the workbench WW2 German Infantry Project - Infantry Platoon in Greatcoats

 

Thise platoon built for the Battlegroup lists will be the most flexible It will have sufficient men to represent an early war platoon for the Blitzkrieg or Barbarossa list and Panzerfaust to swap in later in the war for Overlord. I have pictured them here in my Ostfront defences I use with Kursk
The 80mm mortar by AB  in a mortar pit 

These Greatcoated Panzerfausts are from Early War Miniatures Panzer Grenadier range. I like there camo smocks over there greatcoats and they match well for scale with the AB miniatures in the rest of the platoon. We always play WISIWIG so I can swap these in for sections with Panzerfausts in later war games 

An MG34 team one with splinter pattern camo helmet cover. I like the look of men lying down or kneeling 
The rest of the section - in Battlegroup the MG team and the rifles act a separate manoeuvre groups with seperate orders  


An MG34 in tripod mount as a support weapon for the platoon

The MG34 section with dismounted MG pass the pit for the sustained fire version
