Drop into the thick of the fight with Currahee!, the US Airborne (D-Day) starter army! Clad in their iconic reinforced M42 jump uniforms, these die-hard American paratroopers are ready to spearhead the assault on the Bolt Action tabletop. Combining plenty of lightweight firepower with a never-say-die attitude and intense training, they're a force of tough, veteran infantry who can take the fight to the foe any time, any place. This Bolt Action starter army gives you a battle-ready force of US Airborne that you can field in games as soon as they're assembled. At its core is a strong Rifle Platoon consisting of a pair of 12-man Airborne squads, supported by a sniper and bazooka team, and guided into battle by a 6-man Pathfinder squad - all of these are made from the included plastic sprues. Leading this element of the force is a Warlord Resin Platoon Commander, ensuring your men know what the mission is! Backing up the Rifle Platoon are a pair of smaller formations deploying powerful support weapons - a Heavy Weapons Platoon of two medium machine gun and one medium mortar teams, plus a Platoon Commander, all in Warlord Resin, and an Artillery Platoon with two metal guns: a 75mm Pack Howitzer for indirect fire support, and a 57mm anti-tank gun for dealing with enemy armour. These are led by a Platoon Commander built from the plastic sprues. This force gives you the perfect starting point for a US Airborne collection themed around the D-Day drops made famous in media such as Band of Brothers and can be endlessly tailored, or built upon, to fit your exact specifications.
