Infantry vs Tank

[Richard Trevor]

Hi All,

I this is more a tacitcal question than anything else, with the coming of the new Commonwealth Infantry for Bolt Action, I am busy planning a LRDG/SAS/SBS Platoon, either using the selectors from either the Western Desert Book or the on from the British Book – Behind Enemy Lines.

How would these selectors satnd up against a list that would maybe bring one tank. Does Infantry stand a chance against them.

Cheers

I’m not a big fan of the infantry vs tank rules. I was looking at an SAS list as well. But, by having no direct anti tank capability, it is making me reconsider. Since the unit size is fairly small, needing at a minimum a 4+ to hit and that is if you can catch the vehicle immobilized or without an order. So, if you roll well you might be able to take out an 8+ vehicle. Which is fine for early war, which is when they are built for. But most players will be taking heavies in their lists.
