Shouldn't they be two man teams?

I remember using these a while back, and being surprised how quickly they were spotted and eliminated. Having only a two man section would sure help, and I'd think it would be more realistic.

Units:
482 (Lewis) LMG Section
483 (Bren) LMG Section, early
484 (Bren) LMG Section, late

Who knows - some OOB "designer" sneaked those in at some point, and they are unused apart from a special formation - which bears no relation to any UK formation.

(The UK section should be LMG group + separate rifle group to reflect the special UK tactics, but weeny little 2-3 teams just die quickly in SP. Especially due to the rule that ~50% casualties is a crippled element. SP sections are best as unitary ones, not groups)

They may be size 0 - I would just ignore them as junk though.

In any case, firing gets you spotted. Even if size 0.
