USA

Mortars played a hugely important role in WWII, providing vital indirect fire support in a lightweight, portable package. This made them especially important for airborne forces who needed their support weaponry as soon as they landed. The 81mm mortar gave US Airborne units a powerful weapon for suppressing and dealing with enemy infantry, and proved popular, reliable, and deadly throughout the war. Medium mortars are some of the most widely used units in all of Bolt Action, giving your force the capability to lay down lethal indirect fire on the enemy. One of the core units of Heavy Weapons Platoons, when drawing line of sight from a friendly spotter they can menace enemy units all across the table. This 3-man team, cast in finely detailed Warlord Resin, wear the iconic M42 jump uniform made famous by American paratroopers on D-Day, and make the perfect addition to any US Airborne force. Prepare for a fire mission! Contains one metal medium mortar with three Warlord Resin US Airborne (D-Day) crew, and plastic base.

Few fighting forces rival the hard-won reputation of the US Marine Corps. Showing their mettle during the island-hopping campaigns in the Pacific, and then to pushing the enemy back to their homeland, the US Marine had few equals in WWII. Facing the deadly combination of the fanatical Japanese enemy and the sweltering jungle conditions in which they fought, the US Marine Corps triumphed in actions which have become legendary – Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Peleliu, Iwo Jima and more. Within the claustrophobic confines of the hills and jungle environment over which they fought, the marines were reliant more on support weapons than on tanks. Medium machine guns like the M1917 and the 81mm medium mortar were vital to their success. Contains these metal models:

• 1 officer with SMG and pistol
• 1 US Navy corpsman medic treating a casualty
• 1 medic with stretcher
• 1 radio operator/spotter
• 1 medium mortar team
• 1 MMG team
