Product details

Background & context

American airborne troops were deployed as elite units behind enemy lines starting in 1942 and often had to operate without heavy support. The Browning M1919A4, with its rate of fire of 500 rounds per minute, was the backbone of American fire control at the platoon level, while a lighter variant could also be carried by paratroopers in the field. Medics were particularly valuable in airborne warfare, as wounded soldiers in cut-off operational areas often depended on their initial treatment. Despite its weight, the 60mm M2 mortar offered significantly greater range and effectiveness than comparable German and British types - paratroopers also used the lighter M19 variant.

On the tabletop

For American paratroopers in Sicily, at Salerno and in Normandy this metal box supplies the support for a Bolt Action platoon. The HQ group gives your squads their orders. The medium machine gun team secures roads and crossroads with sustained fire after the landing, and the medium mortar team reaches targets behind hedges and walls. As paratroopers landed without tanks or guns, these weapons were often their only heavy firepower.
