Does anyone know why the Soviet LMG squad doesn’t get the Green rule when other Inexperienced Squads get it? Is there a historical reason why?
April 13, 2020 at 12:08 pm #177031NatParticipantTo help differenciate the two squads… otherwise there would be no point in the rifle squad entry* as if you wanted a green rifle squad you’d just take the LMG squad and not buy the LMG!
*Aside from the free ‘conscript’ squad…..

The squads with just rifles we’re lower in the pecking order historically ( 100% true). So I just wanted to know why the LMG squad weren’t given the green rule as they have the same point value as some of the other inexperienced squads. Is it based on gaming mechanics or something historical? Just wondering. Thanx

You may be right on both reasons.
