Re: Japanese AT rifle

Thank you very much for this quick answer.
But now i have another problem.
The AT rifle does not appear in the company battle list.
How can I add the AT rifle to the company?

And another question:
Is a sniper able to shoot through squares containing foot troops of
either side??

Thank you for answering these questions!!
Regards,

Kay

well from whats transpired the ATR belongs in the Hmg platoon so adding 2ATRs to that would be historically acceptable. They also lived with the ATGs section...
