Warlord Games Bolt Action 1:56 Scale US Army Heavy Weapons Platoon - 402013055

The US Army was well known for bringing overwhelming firepower to bear on its foes
and its infantry heavy weapons were a critical part of that doctrine.
Medium machine guns and mortars provided vital direct and indirect fire to keep the enemy pinned
while the US Army's big hitter, the legendary "Ma Deuce" .50 cal heavy machine gun
could punch through cover and even destroy light vehicles.

The box contains everything you need to build a Heavy Weapons Platoon
up to four mortars and machine guns or three heavy weapons teams plus a platoon commander and bodyguard.
If you choose the latter you can also use arms and weapons from your infantry as the crew are modelled in US Army uniforms
and are fully interchangeable with the plastic infantry.
Note that HMGs have four crew, so the exact number of heavy weapons you can field depends on how you choose to build them.
However you choose you'll have plenty of spares for converting squads and vehicles.

Contains:

Two heavy weapons frames each containing one .30 cal M1919 medium machine gun, two .50 cal heavy machine guns
(one standard M2 Heavy Barrel and one AN/M2 barrel) with two tripods, one M1 81mm medium mortar with bipod and a selection of ammunition.
That's two MMGs and four HMGs with a total of four tripods for the machine guns, plus two medium mortars with bipods.

Three crew frames totalling twelve infantry models that can be assembled as crew or command squads
with a selection of heads, arms and equipment, including a hand holding a
mortar bomb and a pair of hands holding the HMG triggers.

Four 60mm and three 25mm bases, allowing you to construct up to four
heavy weapons teams or three heavy weapons plus a platoon commander and bodyguards.
