Description

Infantry weapons teams are a key component of any Bolt Action army, providing as they do great tactical flexibility for your force. Sniper teams, light mortar teams and flamethrower teams are among the most prevalent, presenting your opponent with multiple challenges to overcome.

Australian snipers were not given much in the way of special equipment - or even scopes in some circumstances. Despite this, there were many successful sharpshooters amongst the infantry companies, many of them professional hunters in civilian life.

In early campaigns, platoons back from the desert retained their 2-inch mortar, but it was discovered they were less effective in this new environment as the thick jungle canopy meant the rounds often burst in the air.

The re-equipped Jungle Divisions were issued with limited numbers of US-made man-packed flamethrowers from 1944 onwards. These proved devastatingly effective at clearing out Japanese bunkers.

Contains three Bolt Action Order Dice and the following Warlord Resin Plus figures:

  • 2-man Light Mortar team
  • 2-man Sniper team
  • 2-man Flamethrower team

    Models supplied unassembled and unpainted.
