Yes it is confusing! I'm trying to match the FM, and also match the info that the BMP-1 had two spare seats, while the BMP-2 had 1 spare seat. This is important at the platoon level because the Platoon Leader and Assistant Platoon leader take up 2 of those spare seats.<br /><br />I'm reasonably sure they (The PL and APL) did not dismount, but the Squad Leaders they displaced did - so 2 squads out of the three would have 8 dismonts rather than 7.<br /><br />For game purposes - I'm having the PL at least dismount - otherwise it could lead to even more confusion - but not sure yet.<br /><br />Hope that helps a little<br /><br />RichardRichardChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715518001361703533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116709723757797084.post-88836718706328391092016-03-29T11:30:48.634-07:002016-03-29T11:30:48.634-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00623466640908820611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116709723757797084.post-91580422237850998622016-03-29T03:40:21.078-07:002016-03-29T03:40:21.078-07:00Love your blog, which I use as my go-to resource f...Love your blog, which I use as my go-to resource for info and inspiration, but man has this post confused me! Your BTR & BMP1 photos match the table in terms of number of dismounts, but your text refers to one additional rifleman? I also can't square away Jim's comments about the squad leader with the table, I.E. driver, gunner & leader on board leaves only 6 dismounts? ... Please help - am I missing something?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00623466640908820611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116709723757797084.post-2469057246605124092016-03-17T02:29:28.062-07:002016-03-17T02:29:28.062-07:00I'd like to know how everything is going with ...I'd like to know how everything is going with this.<br /><a href="https://www.weweresoldierstoo.com/" rel="nofollow">what was the outcome of the cold war</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116709723757797084.post-4697463374904343502016-03-15T15:32:37.211-07:002016-03-15T15:32:37.211-07:00All looks good to me now.
