German Pioniere

 Now that I've finished up the base infantry for the platoon (or zug, I suppose, since they are German), here is the start of the support units.  Since I am planning this unit for Chain of Command, pioniere arrive in teams of three men.  I've started with one pack of Crusader Miniatures' German Assault Engineers for the specialists, to be supplemented as necessary with one or more riflemen to make up numbers.

Here is a group shot.

The justifiably feared flamethrower or flammenwerfer, with a couple of riflemen in support.

And three more specialists, including a chap armed with a bag of grenades and a grenade launching sturmpistole.  Not sure when I'll use him, but he looks ready for action.  In addition, there looks to be a demolition expert and a fellow with a mine detector.  I'm not 100% certain the mine detector was available to the Wehrmacht in 1940, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

And finally, a group photo!
