US raw company

I put this here as a new chat so that it does not get lost in amongst existing chats.

A player may have to work hard to make Raw US work but it is still relatively straight forward.

US 1943-44

PC rifle 3
6 rifles (garand) 30
3 LMG BAR 15
1 bazooka 5

Total per platoon = 53   4 platoons = 212

Support platoon
PC SMG 4
4 mortars 28
2 rifles 10
Total =42

Cumulative total so far=254
Leaves 146

4  x 7/7 shermans= 140

394 Total

Other points could be spent on more foot bases or better tanks.

That is what I have done. The only other foot bases available are 1 bazooka per platoon for a total of 20 points. To achieve this you would have to drop bases from the mortars which would leave it unviable or leave out a Sherman for 35 points. This leaves you 15 points adrift. Using veteran Shermans would cost 49 points each so you could use 3 of them and drop a couple of infantry bases. Somehow it does not seem right to use a raw company with veteran tanks.

Given the intended ad hoc pairing of infantry and armour, I'm actually OK with mixing raw and veteran in this way.
