Thread: Combat Commander: Europe:: Strategy:: Why would you ever play a platoon?

My friend and I were playing a RSG 1944, Germans Line vs Americans Line. I chose a Veteran Rifle Detachment and he chose a Volksgrenadier Platoon. He hoped for a good support roll and the only thing available to time was a weapons team with a medium mortar and more Volksgrenadier. His surrender level was only 3 and despite his guys being in a bunker he was quickly forced to surrender to the combined fire from the American's medium and heavy MGs and their 203mm artillery.

Why would anyone ever choose a platoon? 2 Actions a turn and only one commander seems like such a hindrance. Why would anyone want to limit themselves to such an inflexible army?
