Default Re: game guide's section on british infantry

The UK and Commonwealth doctrine for infantry was to use fire and manoeuvre to close with and kill the infantry with bomb and bayonet after winning the fire-fight. (If the enemy decided not to stick around for the CQB phase, that was fine as well.)

The "winning the fire-fight" part was a rather important element to this of course!.

Some discussion of Commonwealth section and platoon battle drills here:http://regimentalrogue.com/papers/sect_atk.htm (Canadian viewpoint)
and here http://www.bayonetstrength.150m.com/...le_platoon.htm (includes discussion of other nations)


Cheers
