Get some fire support deployed to the landing zone, now!  US Airborne forces made great use of mortars and machine guns to support their landings, using these weapons extensively in place of heavier equipment. Often the only supporting fire available to the paratroopers in the first minutes and hours of an operation, their successful deployment could be the difference between victory and defeat.  Heavy Weapons Platoons are a crucial part of any Bolt Action army - as the name suggests, they're where you find your infantry support weapons, particularly mortars and machine guns! These can play a huge role in the game, providing you with the firepower you need to back up your Rifle Platoons. This box gives you everything you need to support your D-Day themed US Airborne with a Heavy Weapons Platoon - two medium machine guns lay down direct fire, while a medium mortar team brings destruction from on high, plus a Platoon Commander to lead them!  Cast in finely detailed Warlord Resin, and clad in the M42 jump uniform made famous on D-Day, this Platoon is ready to engage.  Box contains one Warlord Resin US Airborne (D-Day) officer, two metal medium machine guns with three Warlord Resin US Airborne (D-Day) crew each and one metal medium mortar with three Warlord Resin US Airborne (D-Day) crew. Also contains four Bolt Action Order dice, and plastic bases.  Sculpted by Wojciech Flis. Studio miniatures painted by Jamie Getliffe.  Models supplied unassembled and unpainted.
