I've looked through TMP and don't find an answer to my possibly silly question. The basic German platoon pack (GE722) comes with 4 Panzerfaust armed Infantry. However from what I've read only the Platoon Command stand may be armed with Pzfaust. Do I just mix the other 3 Pzfaust armed figures in with the rest of the platoon making sure everyone knows (we're all FoW noobs) that only the Platoon Command has Pzfaust capability? The above is my conclusion, but I don't want to violate any "Unwritten codes of basing" my first time out  thanks, Dave |

Panzerfaust, not Panzerschreck… |

Do I just mix the other 3 Pzfaust armed figures in with the rest of the platoon making sure everyone knows (we're all FoW noobs) that only the Platoon Command has Pzfaust capability? That's what I'd do, and have done. Honestly, few if any ever notice. If you ultimately end up with three platoons then those (6) medium bases with a Panzerfaust dude each could be pooled in to the same platoon to be a platoon that has a Panzerfaust in every team. You'll see more and more of this option as we get deeper into LW. I do not think you're in any danger of stepping over some unwriiten code here. VB |

I would set the extra panzerfaust figures aside for now. When your collection grows you WILL find yourself suddenly needing more of them at some point. I usually only put one panzerfaust figure on a command stand or in a team, due to the rarity of the figures. When I do, he is rather prominently positioned on the base so the panzerfaust is easy to spot. |

What Dameon said – you'll need them later. |
