All Flames Of War infantry and guns are supplied with appropriate bases. Assemble your MMG Platoon or Mortar teams by gluing the figures into the holes on a base of the right size. Super glue works well for this. There are usually several figures with each type of weapon, so you can create variety in your teams. It doesn’t matter which mix of figures you put in each team, as long as the mix of weapons is right.

Vickers MMG Platoon Base the Vickers MMG teams on a medium base with a MG, Gunner, NCO and Loader. The team faces the long edge.

3-Inch Mortar Section Base these Mortar teams on medium base facing the long edge. These teams have a NCO, mortar and two loaders. Tip: Use the plugs found on the base plug sprue to fill any unnecessary holes.
