Product details
The Canadians decided, as Soviet doctrine was to use waves of infantry and armoured vehicles to overcome opposition, that the .50 cal HMG could be used dismounted against both infantry and their lightly armoured personnel carriers as part of a defensive position. In the case of the Airborne Regiment, where they did not have armoured vehicles armed with similar weapons, a complement of tripod-mounted .50 cal heavy machine-guns was added to the weapons available to the airborne commandos. The Canadian Airborne Regiment also had a platoon of eight C3 81mm mortars. The Airborne Weapons Group includes additional C5 GPMG Teams that can be used in conjunction with the Mechanized Platoon Blister to field an Airborne Platoon. THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS: Metal Infantry Figures 4x C3 81mm Mortar Teams 4x .50cal HMG Teams 2x C5 GPMG Teams --- These miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted 0.50cal machine-guns give the infantry some heavy fire support against Soviet infantry, as well as being able to threaten light armoured vehicles As Airborne forces they may be fighting without artillery support, so a battery of 81mm mortars gives the unit some dedicated support to pin down the enemy or provide smoke to conceal friendly troops whilst attacking Contains 10x Infantry Weapons Teams
