Section d'infanterie/Chasseurs

"My centre is giving way, my right is retreating, situation excellent, I am attacking."

– Ferdinand Foch

In Team Yankee

Now here's a confusing unit.

You've got enough stationary ROF to make a Soviet infantry general shit his pants, yet your own men are liable to do so first. The FAMAS combines volume of fire with range, and a full strength Section d'infantrie will turn PACT companies into bloody sieves before they can get close enough to fire back. However, French doctrine dictates a kind of hit & run method of engagement and your men will run away under any extended pressure. What anti-tank output you have is either negligible or increases unit costs, so besides a Milan or two that may or may not be there, these platoons are not terribly viable for AT duty. However, your LRACs will punch through tanks from the side if you get the chance while an APILAS will go through the front of most NATO tanks.

Transport wise, you can take either the AMX-10P or the VAB depending on whether your formation is a Section de chasseurs or a Section d'infantrie respectively. The infantrie sections are cheaper and larger overall (at up to 7 FAMAS teams), but the chasseurs are backed by IFV autocannons and can take an extra Milan team if you so choose. Formation-wise, the infanterie are a bit more versatile, having the option for taking an AMX-30 platoon, a venerable AMX-10 RC platoon, or a dedicated Milan section.
