Bolt Action: US Paratrooper Squad

Original price was: £26.50.Current price is: £21.25.

St. Mère Eglisé. Carentan. Nijmegen. Bastogne.

Actions that stir the blood and conjure images of highly-trained US paratroopers punching holes in the German lines in Normandy and later holding off overwhelming opposition in the Ardennes.

These US Airborne models are ideal to represent the 101st ‘Screaming Eagles’, 82nd ‘All American’, or the 17th ‘Thunder from Heaven’ divisions – arguably some of the toughest of the US army.

They were ordinary citizen soldiers, but highly trained and motivated, superbly equipped and packed with firepower as only an American force can be! As brilliantly highlighted in the superb TV series Band of Brothers, US Airborne troops were always at the sharp end of the action and weren’t found wanting.

Contains a 10-man US Paratrooper Squad:

  • 1 NCO and two soldiers with SMGs
  • 2-man LMG team
  • 5 soldiers with rifle/carbine
  • 8 25mm round and 2 lozenge plastic bases

    Bolt Action: US Army Winter Weapons Teams

    Infantry weapons teams are a key component of any Bolt Action army, providing as they do great tactical flexibility for your force. Sniper teams, anti-tank teams and flamethrower teams are among the most prevalent, presenting your opponent with multiple challenges to overcome. The American Bazooka was first used in North Africa and on Tarawa in November 1942. The M6 HEAT rocket could easily penetrate 76mm of armour at 30 degrees or 110mm at 90 degrees. The tasks of scouting and sniping were similar in American doctrines. Snipers were equipped with a telescopic sight on a M1903 bolt-action Springfield rifle, and also had close-combat weapons such as pistols and shotguns with which to defend themselves if discovered. Flamethrowers were used throughout the war, especially in the Pacific, to clear out tunnels and bunkers. During the Normandy landings, the number of flamethrowers was increased to allow the men to open a gap in the fortified lines. Contains the following Warlord Resin Plus figures:
    • 2-man Bazooka team
    • 2-man Sniper team
    • 2-man Flamethrower team
