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 one more squad to complete but will finish off some support options in between, over the next week or so. The third platoon requires a lot more work.
