The Australian Platoon in North Africa was an exact replica of the British Infantry Platoon.

The Australian platoon consisted of three squads, each with a Bren Gun, and a headquarters section with a Boys anti-tank rifle and a 50mm mortar.

Designed for ” Chain of Command” rules with teams and sections, each section consists of a rifle team of six men, a Bren gun team of three men and an NCO junior leader.

The three infantry sections are the same.

I have two more squads to complete but will finish off some support options in between, over the next week or so.

All of the Australian figures are from Eureka Miniatures and Britannia Miniatures.
