This MG is incredibly versatile beyond WWI. I recall some 2nd class Wehrmacht units started the war with this gun, and even some early SS units. On the other side of the world, China's Kuomintang Army units trained by Germany used MG08 against the Japanese. No doubt many countries used MG08 in wars between the World Wars.

That's what I was about to ask: the earlier release had a decent crew so why not now, and if not, why not a couple of MGs to make boxing them worthwhile?
