Hey there,
I am miniature wargamer looking to recreate a mid 1980s IDF force for use in tabletop scenarios. Just looking for some basic information on platoon/squad level load and organization.
Heres what i got so far to my understanding.
Platoon comprises 3 squads of 8 or 10? men per squad?
NCO is armed with carl gustav SMG, rest of squad is armed with FN FALs and one GPMG
What about support weapons? Were any anti tank weapons available at platoon level such as the 84 recoiless Carl Gustav? Mortars 81 mm? 105mm light guns when did they enter service where they platoon level support like modern day? What about platoon command? Radio? Medic? Sniper teams where were they attached and what rifle did they use?
Also some vehicle questions while am asking, did the ranger win use the Land Rover 110XD WMIK in this period? Also the scorpions when did they receive their co axial GPMGs? i can only find pictures of them in the early and mid 80s with the command vehicle mounted with a .50 i cant see any examples of them with GPMGs as we see later.
Also of questions there anyway! Much appreciate any and all answers!
Cheers!
