The section de fusiliers-voltigeurs (fusiliers-voltigeurs platoon) is another example of the French infantry's perfect organisation for trench warfare. The platoon has a small group of rifle grenadiers with the Tromblon VB grenade launcher in the platoon headquarters to knock out machinegun nests, and three groupes (sections) of fusiliers-voltigeurs. The demi groupe de fusiliers (shooters half-section) is the base of fire, delivering a fusillade of shots from their MAS model 1936 bolt-action rifles and the squad's Chatellerault FM Mle 1924-29 light machine-gun. Under the cover of this fire, the demi groupe de voltigeurs (manoeuvre half-section) vaults out of the trenches and sprints across No Man's Land to assault the enemy trenches. Most reserve divisions retained the old Berthier model 1916 rifle and some even had the old Chauchat FM model 1915 light machine-gun, but all had the excellent Tromblon VB grenade launcher. A Peloton de Chasseurs porte (light mechanised mounted platoon) is composed of well-trained, well-equipped and well-armed troops with twice the number of light machine-guns as normal infantry. More importantly each squad of Chasseurs is carried to battle in a Lorraine VBCP (Voiture Blinde de Chasseurs Portes) 38L. Based on the Lorraine 37L Tracteur de Ravitaillement (supply tractor), it can carry up to ten men - four men in an armoured cargo bay and six more in an armoured trailer. This made the French Army the only combatant during the Battle for France fielding battalions mounted in fully-tracked armoured personnel carriers, and the only country with whole battalions of infantry in armoured personnel carriers in each of their armoured divisions at the start of the war. Contents: 2x Formation Command and Unit Leader Teams 6x MG Teams 1x VB Rifle Grenade Team 1x 60mm Mortar Team 2x 81mm Mortar Teams 2x HMG Teams Combine the 81mm Mortar and HMG teams from two Chasseurs Platoon boxes to field a Machine-gun Platoon and a 81mm Mortar Platoon. These miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted.
