The other 3 remain with the vehicle and use it for either squad support or withdraw to a "Safe" distance and prepare for a squad retrieval. <br /><br />The Germans tend to dismount EVERYONE and leave the vehicle un crewed and abandoned. In US Platoons it is different again! Each army seems to have a different tactic. But the Russians keep a full crew for the vehicle. Also remember that each Russian platoon also has a platoon commander, an assistant platoon commander, a sniper and a medic as well and the APCs are crowded, BUT not full, there is room for more IF they really need it!Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-7174488345436202072016-05-19T05:52:42.937-07:002016-05-19T05:52:42.937-07:00Well, despite your complaints, these figures look ...Well, despite your complaints, these figures look good enough to me :-) .<br /><br />Is that really true: that only 6 of the 9 people in a Soviet APC dismount?

Having said that given the diversity of vehicles there should be enough for a few years as well, and with several countries there may be enough for a long long long time to come.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-81631800634336928852016-05-19T00:47:14.316-07:002016-05-19T00:47:14.316-07:00I have had a few similar issues with fow figures b...I have had a few similar issues with fow figures but they do tidy up nicely.
