Default Re: Ultimate weapon : the (H)MG platoon

I find despite the given movement MG units generally do not move without help anyway making them by default primarily a defensive asset anyway.

Trying to move MG's on foot and using them to support is difficult especially under fire and or observation, this likely explains wheels on Russian HMG's.

While there can something said of the way the game portrays HMG's I think within the constraints of the game there is nothing wrong with how they are represented.

Default Mules

When my Gunjin are on foot, the Nambus are on mules. Now if we can get some of those those nifty camel mounts like they used to have for Gatlings...

And lest we forget the whole idea of a tank was to carry an mg to the enemy over swept ground.

Default Re: Mules

I move MG's if I need to get new overwatch position or for example if I need to secure freshly captured positions - for shorter ranges I move them onm foot (speaking of RCMG's, not .50's), for longer ranges by any transport available.
