Hi everyone.
I am curently building a US Armoured Infantry Company in 1/72 scale. I have found that each Infantry squad had the usual dozen men with one being the driver. Would the squad also contain a MG gunner who stayed with the vehicle along with the drive, leaving a ten man squad to fight on foot?
Regards
