1944 Infantry Training : Field Craft, Battle Drill, Section and Platoon tactics
Mid war lessons from WW2. I should take note for playing Bolt Action.
I doubt I'll have the army ready, or the time to play, but my current Bolt Action army list for Conquest 2022.
Based on the 6th Australian Division, where I had a relative in the 2/2nd Field Park RAE there.
I don't have much AT or AA capability - I would need to do some practice games somewhere first. Though every early war army will have that problem.
The army is fully motorized - the 3 Bren Gun Carriers and A15/Crusader are the mobile reserve or attack section (along with the ATR, 2" Mortar and platoon commander in the truck).
I don't understand why the army can be 1005 points- they said it's to make things "different", but I like how it makes the army more balanced. I really need an extra body for the Lt, Artillery Spotter and would like a medic but can't afford it.
Total Points: 1003
Order Dice: 16
