    Product details

    Background & context

    American airborne troops in World War II relied on light, portable equipment when operating behind enemy lines - heavy artillery pieces usually remained out of reach. Medium machine guns and mortars therefore formed the backbone of these units' organic fire support. Especially in the first hours after the jump, before regular forces could advance, the ability to achieve independent fire superiority determined the success or failure of the operation. The combination of mobility and concentrated firepower significantly shaped the tactical doctrine of American paratroopers.

    On the tabletop

    Two medium machine guns, a medium mortar and an officer in the M42 jump uniform form a complete heavy weapons platoon for your D-Day paratroopers in Bolt Action. The machine guns fire directly at enemy infantry, the mortar hits targets behind cover, and the officer leads the teams as a platoon of their own. In the first hours of a landing such weapons were often the paratroopers' only fire support. Four order dice and bases are included.
