Default Re: Dismounted PanzerGrenadiers coy.

They did.

This quote from "Schützenpanzer" by Bruce Culver and Uwe Feist

"The Motorized infantry regiments in the Panzer Divisions were
organized with two battalions each. Each battalion contained three rifle
companies and a heavy support company. A rifle company had three rifle
platoons, each of which consisted of three infantry squads ( Gruppen ) .
Each squad had two MG34 light machine guns, one on a heavy tripod mount, and
8 Mauser 7.92mm Kar 98k rifles. The heavy MG section in each platoon had two
MG34's on Heavy tripods, and there SPW's also had a heavy mount for the
vehicle's forward MG34"

Of course, Chuck thinks this is wrong ( of course...) personally, I think both sources are correct and the tripod was available if needed and the gun could be set up either as a LMG or a MMG depending on the tactical situation. ( one of the strengths of the MG34/42 was this flexability )

These nit picking conversations are getting a bit tedious though... Now we're down to should the Moterized PzGren be in Opels of Protze when in game terms there is little difference and in reality the Pzgren formations would be happy with anything with wheels that had a motor.
