Squad Leader with a Bolt Action

[Krobar]

Take elite rifleman rename it Squad Leader, give it SL loadouts. Take SL rename it Sergeant take away Semi-auto and SMG (until higher levels... maybe) replace them with bolt, add smoke, grenades, and possibly binoculars. Some adjusting for number of classes may be needed, but there should be more Sergeants than SLs. Yes there is a diference between Sergeants and NCOs (SLs) in the Soviet army, not 100% sure about the German army.

I know it wikipedia but this kind of stuff is usually more accurate than other things.

Probably nearly half the squad leaders on the German side at Stalingrad still carried bolt-action rifles. They were just transitioning the MP40 into the new squad structure post-Barbarossa as the new squad leader weapon.
