Bolt Action: US Airborne (D-Day) Heavy Weapons Platoon

Original price was: £37.00.Current price is: £29.60.

US Airborne forces made great use of mortars and machine guns to support their landings, using these weapons extensively in place of heavier equipment. Often the only supporting fire available to the paratroopers in the first minutes and hours of an operation, their successful deployment could be the difference between victory and defeat.

Heavy Weapons Platoons are a crucial part of any Bolt Action army – as the name suggests, they’re where you find your infantry support weapons, particularly mortars and machine guns! These can play a huge role in the game, providing you with the firepower you need to back up your Rifle Platoons. This box gives you everything you need to support your D-Day themed US Airborne with a Heavy Weapons Platoon – two medium machine guns lay down direct fire, while a medium mortar team brings destruction from on high, plus a Platoon Commander to lead them!

Cast in finely detailed Warlord Resin, and clad in the M42 jump uniform made famous on D-Day, this Platoon is ready to engage.

Box contains one Warlord Resin US Airborne (D-Day) officer, two metal medium machine guns with three Warlord Resin US Airborne (D-Day) crew each and one metal medium mortar with three Warlord Resin US Airborne (D-Day) crew. Also contains four Bolt Action Order dice, and plastic bases.

    Bolt Action: M3 Lee Medium Tank

    , ,
    Roar into battle with the M3 Lee Medium Tank! Entering American service in 1941, the M3 Medium Tank was designed to serve as an interim tank while the M4 Sherman was developed and put into production. Despite this, it was by no means a poor vehicle, boasting excellent mechanical reliability and powerful firepower, albeit in a somewhat archaic layout. This kit allows you to build the M3 (known to the British in this configuration as the ‘Lee’), a powerful Medium tank able to be fielded by US, British, and Soviet forces. You can build this vehicle with the earlier short-barrelled or later long-barrelled main gun - in games of Bolt Action we treat the M3 as a Medium tank with a 9+ damage value, armed with a medium anti-tank gun in the hull, and a light anti-tank gun in the turret, plus a medium machine gun! Whether you’re in the Western Desert with US or British forces, or equipping your Soviet troops with Lend-Lease armour, the M3 Lee is a great option! Box contains one plastic M3 Lee medium tank, decal sheet, Bolt Action vehicle stat card, and vehicle damage markers.
