Just wrapped up the infantry for two Support Troops of the 12th Manitoba Dragoon Regiment (vehicles are in the works).
These were fun to model with a bit of conversion work. As Armoured Corps troops, they got black berets and RAC pattern helmets. As inhabitants of M3 White Scout Cars, they get as many Browning .50 cal and .30 cal machine guns as they care to dismount and distribute.
Each troop is carried by three White Scout Cars, and has 21 men to choose from (24 if the drivers dismount too). For gameplay, this will typically be fielded with two rifle sections of 6–7 men, plus leadership and support elements. I've modelled each Troop with most all the options available to choose from: 1 Lieutenant, 1 medic, 1 radio operator, 1 .50 cal team (4), 1 .30 cal team (3), 1 PIAT team (2), 1 2" mortar team (2), 1 minesweeper team (2), and 2 rifle sections (5 rifles, 2 SMGs, 1 Bren). And 1 Captain in case they get a visitor from Regimental HQ.

Figures are a mix of West Wind, Warlord, and Artizan, most of the heads provided from West Wind's Swappable Heads packs.
MGs, mostly US troops with converted gear (no one makes Commonwealth soldiers with Brownings!). The third crew member on each base is removable. When that figure is killed, an ammo box fills the empty space. When the next crew is killed, the ammo box is removed to reveal a "-1" indicator.

PIATS & 2" Mortars:
Minesweepers (the handles on the sweepers were very bendy, reinfocred with .020 brass wire underneath):
