Fusiliers Machine-Gun Platoon (GFR714) Contains four Hotchkiss mle 1914 HMG teams.
In the front lines our company is supported by the new Hotchkiss mle 1914 heavy machine-gun. It fires the same cartridge as our standard rifles and can sustain a rate of fire of 450 rounds per minute. Well placed in defence, these guns will make the Germans think twice about attacking our front line.

Each of the Hotchkiss mle 1914 HMG teams includes the two-man HMG crew consisting of the seated gunner with attached machine-gun, and the kneeling loader as. Two teams will also include an NCO figure. The other two teams are made up of the same two-man HMG crew and a kneeling Fusilier figure.
Tip: Use base plugs to fill the extra figure hole on the base, as each Hotchkiss HMG team consists of only three figures. If you base the the loader figure first, you can then place the machine-gun so that the ammunition belts line up. Or (as below) you may prefer to position some or all of your loaders so that, rather than feeding the belt into the gun, they are holding a fresh belt at the ready.
