Infantry Sections are a general use term for British infantry squads. They are also commonly called "Tommies" by players.
Australian infantry at Tobruk.
History
A squad is a small military unit led by a non-commissioned officer (NCO) that is subordinate to an infantry platoon. In countries following the British Army tradition (Australian Army, Canadian Army, and others) this organization is referred to as a section. In most armies a squad consists of eight to fourteen soldiers, and may be further subdivided into fire teams.
Tactics & Tips
Versatile infantry which compose the majority of your British army. They can construct emplacements and trenches. They can be upgraded with:
- A Recon Element which allows the squad to have better capping ability as they can move faster without the need for a Lieutenant. In addition, they have the ability to use a sniper shot which is invaluable in many situations. Upgrading to the Recon Element also reduces the fighting ability of the Tommy squad below that of an regular one.
- The Bren LMG boosts the anti-infantry fighting ability of your infantry sections and can deal with most Panzer Elite vehicle threats. Note: Bren LMG's only work when your Infantry Section is immobile. Whenever you send them to fight an enemy, use the attack-move command.
- Rifle-grenades are useful for attacking garrisoned buildings, trenches, and units in cover. They are also effective against clustered enemy units. Use the smoke canisters on the area around an enemy MG in order to greatly reduce its suppression on your Infantry Section.
- Always have a Lieutenant close by, not only to increase the effectiveness(+~29 accuracy from a Lieutenant without veterancy) of your troops, but also so that he can gain veterancy.
- The Boys Anti-Tank Rifle allows the squad to fight light vehicles such as Panzer Elite Armored Cars and Pumas. It deals good damage, and is essential to counter Armored Car spam.
