-thanks

I use one of the following infantry compositions typically:

 

A) With FA-45 and AA-52

B) With 2 AT-23

C) With 1 Grenade Launcher

D) Standard AP-11 Rifles

 

Obviously, it depends on the mission... (that's so cliche isn't it). However, I can say that I've personally not bothered with mortars. I'm a big fan of CAV's and aircrafts so infantry play a limited role in my force.

I'm a big fan of 3 x infantry with G11 rifles and 1 Hedgehog APC. It's around 200 points for the full section, so I can fit it in almost anywhere.

 

Another combo I like is 2 x infantry with AP-23 missiles and 2 x Fenri. Lots of missile joy .

 

Something I want to try is 2 x infantry with FA-45 and 2 x vindicator. Time for some chunky salsa.

 

The basic rule of thumb I use is to choose my hunting target (CAVs, infantry, aircraft, etc), give the infantry a suitable weapon to fight it, and then choose an APC with a similar weapon. APCs are important due to infantry's slow movement and short range of their weapons. Crunchies fair better without an APC, they can at least keep up with a Rhino.
