Are there specific Gebirgjäger support weapons and transport vehicles that I should consider?
This is from the latest FAQ, but I’m sure the concept applies to all. Including a Gebirgsjäger Force, so this should help some:
“I want to collect an army of paratroopers. However there are no
specific paratrooper officers, snipers, MMG teams, etc to go with my
paratroopers squads. The same goes for all units of infantry with
special rules, like commandos, gurkhas etc.
We assume that the special rules only apply to the ‘proper’
(and normally larger) squads of paratroopers, but not to their
HQs and support teams, as they are not big enough for the
rule to ‘come into play’, or that their tactical role is different, as
represented by their own special rules or specialised weaponry.
So, we normally just select officers and support teams of the
same quality as the relative infantry squads – in the case of
paratroopers for example, choose all of your officers and support
teams as Veterans – they are not going to be as hard as the men,
but still not bad. Also, when possible equip them with weapons
that make them as similar as possible to their ‘main troops’. For
example, equip Gurkha HQs with submachine guns, so they
become exactly as effective as Tough Fighters in close quarters.”
