Thanks A_E. Dasheepeh, the tl;dr is this:

1. With some exceptions, you only build one non-doctrinal core infantry unit (rifle section) which then gets the ability to equip itself with support weapons.

Pro - flexibility
Con - Can't cap points

The vanilla rifle section can cap, but if you convert it into a Bren or Vickers LMG / HMG team then it cannot. A tradeoff.

2. To capture the feel of armoured infantry doctrine you can choose to twin a non-vehicle unit with any vehicle unit.

Pro - bonus to speed / accuracy
Con - the units stay close and if one is destroyed the other unit takes penalties until re-twinned (promotes micro / unit preservation)

3. Territory Denial - to get the vibe of special operations / airborne (a la Market Garden and the airborne Rhine Crossings) as well as the fact that the British would often advance faster than they could supply, the Brits can use elite troops to try to deny enemy resources. This involves three units - Humber ACs, SAS jeeps and snipers (the Humber is a 222 analogue, the SAS jeep a Kubel style fast scout) which can go to an area, cap it then with a resource spend deny it to the enemy for a period.

Pro - enemy denial

Con - the Brits can suffer OKW style logistics issues as they advance beyond their supply train

Airborne ops - The Brits can drop infantry and supplies

Pro - they can 'buy' air-dropped resources like the Luftwaffe Doctrine

Cons - planes can get shot down.
