Bring death from above with the US Airborne (D-Day) Platoon!
Clad in their iconic reinforced M42 jump uniforms, these die-hard American paratroopers are ready to spearhead the assault on the Bolt Action tabletop. Combining plenty of lightweight firepower with a never-say-die attitude and intense training, these tough, veteran troops can be assembled in a huge number of ways and can represent many different units on the tabletop.
This kit is absolutely packed with options, allowing you to build 30 US Airborne troops in their D-Day uniforms, in a wide variety of dynamic poses. There’s also an enormous variety of weaponry to outfit your men, from the iconic M1 Garand and Carbine, Thompson and M3 SMGs, and BAR, to the powerful punch of the M1919 Browning light machine gun and Bazooka anti-tank rocket launcher. Alongside this is a wealth of additional components, including specialist equipment such as the M-227 Signal Lamp, M1903A4 sniper rifle, and magazine pouches and pistols galore, as well as a wide variety of heads, both in scrim-netted helmets, and with the infamous ‘Mohawk’ haircut of the legendary Filthy Thirteen. All of this combines to allow you to build the units listed below - and these are just some of the possible combinations!
Using this kit and Armies of the United States: Third Edition, you can build up to 30 infantrymen that can represent any of the following:
Airborne Officer
Airborne Medic
Airborne Forward Observer
Paratrooper Squad
Pathfinders Squad
Airborne Engineer Squad
Airborne Bazooka Anti-Tank Team

…and more!
