Chain of Command - Moroccan Infantry Section.

Last of the Spanish complete for the Wyvern Wargamers Chain of Command SCW Project.

A full Moroccan Infantry Section for Chain of Command with a couple of support options, with figures drawn from three separate manufactures, so plenty of variaty within the unit.


HQ section (Plana Mayor) which consisted of the Platoon Commmander, A first Lieutenant (Teniente), a Platoon 1st Sergeant (Sargento Primero) and two additional men.
 
The Section (Pelotone) consists three squads (Escuadras) of 15 Riflemen and an LMG team, which is able to be broke down into Two Rifle armed fire teams of 6 riflemen each and an LMG fire team of two gunners and three riflemen.


Spot the difference - Just noticed them when putting the pic up - one of the infantry is based on a 2p rather than a 1 pence piece - bugger.............

I have finished a support option of a mortar squad and tank hunter team, I suspect a few extras will be on the shopping list for Salute with an AT Gun, Cavalry squad and Tankette on the wish list, but this force for now should give me plenty to put on the table..... with the first outing in a couple of weeks lets just hope they dont succumb to the curse of freshly painted figures.....

    Very nice! You have a platoon and a half though. ;-)

    Sección = Platoon
    Mando (or 'Grupo de Mando') = Platoon HQ - 'Plana Mayor' would be Company/Battalion HQ
    Pelotón = Section/Squad (there are only two per sección)
    Escuadra = 'Fire Team' (there are three per pelotón)

    Don't despair though, as it would not be wrong to reinforce a sección with a pelotón from the reserve platoon if the situation warranted it.

    Suerte! :-)

      I knew I should have picked something a little smaller Steve.

    Now you need an opponent with an international brigade unit to give them a good hiding . Nice paint job and basing Stu .

      I have a bunch of communist types for the VBCW, so I am hoping they will double up.... That way I always have something to field in opposition.
      See you Sunday....?

    Very impressive - nice to see how all the different makes look great together. Cool basing for the dice on the crew served weapon stands.
