Flames of War: Rifle Platoon (PBX12)

Each of a Rifle Company's three rifle platoons has three 19-man sections. With just a single wz. 28 automatic rifle (a licensed copy of the American Browning Automatic Rifle) in each 19-man squad, the main firepower of a platoon comes from its riflemen. These are armed with the Mauser Karabin wz. 98a, the same weapon as their German counterparts. 

The company’s three 7.92mm wz. 35 anti-tank rifles are capable of penetrating the armour of most German tanks. These weapons were top secret until the start of the war as they use tungsten-cored ammunition to obtain an outstanding penetration for such a small-calibre weapon. The company also has a squad of three 46mm wz. 36 light mortars. In addition, the battalion usually supports each company with a platoon of wz. 30 machine-guns from the heavy machine-gun company. All these weapons are usually assigned out to the rifle platoons.
