I think Andy makes a good point about vulnerable small teams. The AT teams are expensive, and don't do very well in SP. I rarely use them, and when my opponent uses them they are easily KO. Perhaps they are only useful sitting in ambush at some crossroads.
They are possibly useful for that - but like the special farces teams they could be made in the scenario editor if required.

The independent AT teams "section" are not really historical in the UK OOB - but can be used to represent the separating out of the platoon AT teams as tank hunters as was done.

The small 2 man AT teams can be useful in WW2 (they definately are in MBT when they have RPG and MAW, with useful ranges and accuracy) - but only if held behind the rifle sections, not advanced out in front of the platoon. If seen they soon die, esp if 1 casualty makes them require rallying (50% casualties) to do anything.

Andy,
Was that a typo or an opinion?

Not a typo. Opinion on the Walt types that seem to want to have these in their cores as super-ninja Rambo combat storm troopers.
