Bolt Action – US army 57mm Anti-Tank Gun
Developed from the British QF 6-pounder, the 57mm M1 anti-tank gun was introduced in 1943 into US Army units and was the standard anti-tank gun by mid 1944, serving in Italy and Northern Europe. While it struggled to penetrate heavy German armour frontally it was effective in combat, being handy to manoeuvre, easily concealed, and capable of a rapid rate of fire. In games of Bolt Action the 57mm M1 can be included in Artillery Platoons and is a Medium Anti-tank gun, that can be towed by most vehicles. Contains One gun frame that makes the British 6-pounder or the US 57mm M1, with standard or hinged trail legs for airborne forces One crew frame that makes four crew in US Army mid-late war uniforms. A variety of heads and arms, and a range of equipment are included, as well as shells and cartridge cases for decorating your bases. The crew frame includes enough to make the three man crew plus an extra soldier that can be used as a platoon commander, a spotter, or just added to your infantry squads. US Army decals One 60mm and one 25mm base One Order Die Miniatures sculpted by Wojtek Flis and Jon Heeney. Studio miniatures painted by Andres Amian.
