OPFOR platoon

[korvessa]

So I just got my rules the other day (hurrah!) and am trying to wrap by "Giant Manly Brain" (as quoted from that great philosopher Al Bundy) around some of  the concepts.
My hero "star" force is US Paratroopers. The OPFOR (opposing force) is German Grenadiers.
The question is about the organization of the enemy platoon.

The rules state that the platoon HQ is an officer, an NCO and 3 riflemen plus a heavy weapon.
The question is, are those three riflemen intended to be the crew of the heavy weapon?
Or is that three troopers in addition to the crew of the heavy weapon?

Thanks
Will probably have more questions as I read/learn/play (the perils of being a soloist - no one to bounce rules explanations off of)

Thanks for asking. The heavy weapon will have its own crew and not part of the three riflemen attached to the leader. Ask away as they come up!
