All Flames Of War infantry and guns are supplied with appropriate bases. Assemble your infantry teams by gluing the figures into the holes on a base of the right size. Super glue is recommended for this. (Note: plastic cement, which works by partially melting hard polystyrene plastic parts and 'welding' them together, will not work with the flexible plastic figures in the Assault Pioneer Platoon).There are usually several figures with each type of weapon, so you can create variety in your teams. It doesn’t matter which mix of figures you put in each team, as long as the mix of weapons is right.
Commanders and Unit Leaders
Base the Company HQ teams, and Grenadier Platoon Unit Leaders on a small three-hole base with an NCO and rifleman as a runner. The team faces the long edge.
MP40 SMG Teams
MP40 SMG teams of an Assault Pioneer Platoon have four MP40 SMG gunners per base. These teams are based on a medium base, facing the long edge.
Flame-thrower Teams
Base Flame-thrower teams on a small two-hole base facing the long edge. Each team has a gunner with his weapon and escort.
