Contains 1x Motor Platoon, Italian theatre, in 15mm.
While tanks may seem all powerful, infantry are still the best way to take and hold terrain. A Motor Platoon is highly mobile with every soldier mounted in a truck. Once on the objective and dug in, the riflemen are virtually immovable. Motor Platoons are usually well supported by the Royal Horse Artillery, machine-guns and anti-tank guns.
Along with the Royal Horse Artillery, the Rifle Brigade plays a vital role in modern mobile warfare. They provide the foundation on which the tanks manoeuvre and occupy key positions well forward on the battlefield so the gunners can really get stuck into the enemy.
The riflemen of the Motor Platoons use their mobility to take their objectives before digging in with the supporting anti-tank guns to hold it against all comers.
After the defeat at Gazala some Motor Battalions were reorganised to use two 3-ton lorries rather than four small 15 cwt trucks. This reduced the amount of petrol and other supplies (not to mention drivers and mechanics) needed to keep the battalion in battle.
