28mm (1:64 scale)
Stoic in defence and methodical in attack, the British Army relied on its heavy weapons to support the infantry and keep the enemy's heads down.
The 3 inch medium mortar was the mainstay of the British Army's Support Companies, providing organic close fire support to the Rifle Companies in each Infantry Battalion. Its heavier cousin, the 4.2 inch heavy mortar, was first used at the Battle of El Alamein, and threw a 20lb bomb out to over 4,000 yards. The Vickers medium machine gun was a veteran of the First World War. While its rate of fire was slower than other guns, because it was water cooled it could sustain accurate fire for extended periods and was incredibly reliable.
The box contains everything you need to build a Heavy Weapons Platoon - up to two medium machine guns, and two medium or two heavy mortars 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 British Army uniforms, and are fully interchangeable with the plastic infantry. Note that the Heavy Mortars have four crew, so the exact number of weapons teams you can build depends on which weapons you choose. Included are enough 60mm bases to make up to four weapons teams total.
Contents:
15 Miniatures
‣ 2 Vickers MMG with Tripod
‣ 12 Crew
1 Order Die
Bases
British & Canadian Decals
Plastic Components
