Quick question. The Brits use Piats and the Yanks use bazookas. These are, obviously, personal anti-tank weapons. Can they also be fired at infantry? Or do piat/bazooka teams just fire as rifle groups? Or can they not engage infantry at all?

Yes, they can be shot at Infantry and Guns. Only real advantage is when a Firepower test is required. Such as when Dug In, in bulletproof cover, or if there are Gunshields.

I believe unless it says otherwise the team just has their Bazooka/Piat as their ranged weapon.

I say this because most German units that can take Panzerfausts say the Team becomes a Panzerfaust/SMG team(or Panzerfaust/Rifle-MG team, etc...)


Bazooka Teams are just Bazooka teams. not Bazooka/Rifle teams.

Gun teams at least can be fired as a rifle team, I can't remember if man packed gun teams are covered by the sam erule but they probably are.

Gun teams are gun teams, it doesn't matter what type they are.
