Infantry weapons teams are a key component of any Bolt Action army, providingas they do great tactical flexibility for your force. Sniper teams, anti-tankteams and flamethrower teams are among the most prevalent, presenting youropponent with multiple challenges to overcome.
The American Bazooka was first used in North Africa and on Tarawa in November1942. The first version (M1A1) had two grips and a wooden support. By 1943 thenew version was released which no longer had the front grip but had an improvedelectrical firing system. The final version was longer (1.55m) and improved therange from 200–250 yards to 300 yards. The M6 HEAT rocket could easilypenetrate 76mm of armour at 30 degrees or 110mm at 90 degrees.
The tasks of scouting and sniping were similar in American doctrines. In theUS manual it was clearly stated that the duty of a sniper was to kill enemyofficers in order to damage the morale of enemy troops. They were equipped witha telescopic sight on a M1903 bolt-action Springfield rifle, and also hadclose-combat weapons such as pistols and shotguns with which to defendthemselves if discovered. Both members of the team had sniper training so therole of spotter was interchangeable.
Flamethrowers were used throughout the war, especially in the Pacific, toclear out tunnels and bunkers. During the Normandy landings, the number offlamethrowers was increased to allow the men to open a gap in thefortified lines.
