Not really sure on the forum..anyway.

How many FG 42's would a normal FJ squad be equipped with? I seem to have an idea only around 7000 were made..so it couldnt have been to many in a squad.

At the moment, I have 4 Fallschirmjager guys: Two guys holding weapons, and then two guys manning a light MG 42. For their weapons...I have a choice of: 4 MP40s, 4 K98s, 1 K98 w/grenade launcher, 2 G43's, and two FG42's. This was supplied with two kits by the way...they aint THAT generous for four guys

The other kit is a heavy MG 42.

Another question: I'm going to do a diorama...probably Bocage. What should I do? I've got a Tiger, 4 FJ guys, 4 guys with the heavy MG, and then 4 British infantry guys, and a ruined Sfkdv 251.

Thanks

Anthony

(Is there some site somewhere where I could get all this information from?)
