What you are doing is adding 1 or 2 additional teams to the platoon. You aren’t changing a Rifle team into an M1919 LMG team. So with the top option, you would still have 7 x M1919/M1 Garand Rifle Teams (we’ll call them Rifle teams from this point) plus up to 2 x M1919 LMG teams. You’d need to model the LMG team separately to denote it in the Platoon.

Also worth pointing out that the additional ROF is only applicable to the added M1919 LMG teams. So the original Rifle Teams will shoot at ROF 2 (Halted) while the optional M1919 LMG teams will shoot at ROF 5 (Halted).

Adding the M1919 LMG teams won’t change all of the teams to ROF 5. So if you max out the top option, you will have,

7 x Rifle Teams with ROF 2

2 x Bazooka Teams with ROF 1

2 x M1919 LMG with ROF 5

All for 17 points. Although in Fortress Europe, for 12 points you could have Churchill Armoured Platoon. And why wouldn’t you because, well Churchill tanks! 🙂
