Carrier Rifle Sections

[Crossroads]

Hi Petri: :smoke:

Wow... you dug up a 4 year old thread? :eek1:

But it is an interesting discussion?

IMHO, the British Carrier unit has uses? :chin:

I use it to garrison VP hexes behind my lines, beef up the defense of important artillery pieces, dig Improved Positions (reminder - units digging in have their attack strength halved) so more important (stronger) infantry units in that hex may attack at full strength, and I also send these units, loaded on Bren carriers, behind enemy lines to attack artillery, HQ's, and transport units.

Use what you have to your best advantage? :smoke:

That's what a search is for, right? And especially as a certain gentleman had promised to share his wisdom should he have time to gather his thoughts... ;)

Thanks for your thoughts. Lot of good tips such as the one about digging in!

But what about using them in actual battles, should the mix be around 50/50 between them and regular rifle platoons and there are just not enough men around?

Are they actually good in a certain role? Or is it just having enough of them around to pack a punch when needed?
