"Use the machine-gun to pin down the enemy before your Tirailleurs (or riflemen) launch their assault. This will prevent unnecessary casualties and help guarantee success against the enemy position." |

The 8mm mle 1914 HMG Teams (two teams per Machine-gun section) |
|
|
"With its high rate of fire (ROF 6), the Tirailleurs Machine-gun Platoon is ideal for deployment near an objective with an infantry platoon in close support. Their combined firepower should be more than enough to prevent opposing infantry from launching a successful assault."
|
|
|
"If the enemy is successful in pinning down the Tirailleurs Machine-gun Platoon, its rate of fire drops from ROF 6 to ROF 2. This will dramatically reduce the platoon’s effective when shooting, especially in Defensive Fire." |
|
|
"The 8mm mle 1914 is rated as a Man-packed; therefore it can move up to 6"/15cm in the movement step. This allows them to keep up with the infantry, making them ideal to move forward and support the infantry."
|
|
|
"The figures in the Tirailleurs Machine-gun Platoon can be used to represent French forces during the campaign in France (i.e. Blitzkrieg) or to represent a French force in Burning Empires. You can even mix and match in the Greatcoat figures to add a flavour to your infantry bases."
