Contested Skies Unit Reviews
AUSTRALIA
Veteran SMLE Rifleman – Set III Common
An increased attack against infantry and close assault value compared to the UK SMLE. The Veteran SMLE is not too bad, and slightly harder to kill because of Steely Resolve. However their cost can quickly add up. Best used to support your regular infantry.
