"Teams from the LRDG Patrol HQ use the Motorcycle Reconnaissance rules on pages 10-11 of Burning Empires and are Reconnaissance Platoons except for the Basing Motorcycles rule (jeeps are based individually)."
"Ford V8 vehicles dismount as Rifle teams. The LRDG/SAS Dismounted Patrols (BR758) are perfect for modelling these dismounted teams."

Incendiary Ammunition
The LRDG and SAS loaded their machine-guns with an unusually high proportion of incendiary ammunition. This was extremely useful against trucks, aircraft, and fuel dumps.
LRDG and SAS vehicle machine-guns count as having a Firepower rating of 5+ when trying to demolish objectives by shooting.
