I finished up the two USMC War Dog and Handler teams last night…

USMC War Dogs and Handlers

Unfortunately, I don’t know how many points these are or where they go in the force organization, as they are not listed in the main rulebook. The rules for them were posted as part of a preview of the Armies of the United States (Third Edition).. but not their point value or what platoons they can be included in!?

Will I ever even use these? I have no idea… 

In the Marine Raiders audiobook I listened to earlier this year, they did mention the dog teams being VERY handy at rooting out Japanese Snipers. That’s what these do as well – spot a hidden enemy unit at 24″ rather than at 12″… but the hidden units rules are such weaksauce… I don’t know if I’ll bother… 

I guess If I set up a scenario with better hidden units rules! 

This is the current Marine Raider force.

I can’t really think of anything else I need to add to this…
