Additional infantry for my Chasseur Ardennais, a mix again of FAA and battlefield/Blitz miniatures. The Belgian Chasseurs Ardennais were organised into Regiments of three rifle battalions and one support battalion. Each rifle battalion had a HQ and three rifle companys, each company had this Organisation. The Organisation below is for the rifle companies.

Notes: The MP34 Schmeisser-Bergmann-Bayard machine pistol a rare beast normally carried by NCOs and officers in reconnaissance companies but I have seen it in use by the Chasseurs Ardennais. The BAR browning was the predominant Sqaud automatic weapon, but I have also seen photos of the Modele 1915/27 French Chauchat light machine gun.
