Infantry weapons teams are a key component of any Bolt Action army; providing as they do great tactical flexibility for your force. Sniper teams; flamethrower teams and light machine gun teams are among the most prevalent; presenting your opponent with multiple challenges to overcome.By their nature as specialist raiders; Commandos go to battle lightly equipped in terms of weaponry. However; they made good use of Vickers K machine guns - formerly aircraft-mounted machine guns - with their high rate of suppressive fire. These 2-man teams comprise a Vickers K gunner and his No 2 laden with extra ammo.Whilst marksmanship was a vital skill for all Commandos; those with a special aptitude for accuracy and field craft were often employed as snipers. In the early days of the organisation; snipers were employed on a more ad-hoc basis; later in the war they; along with their scoped rifles; were specifically listed in Commando tables of organisation and equipment. As well as being used for scouting and attacking enemy forces; snipers were also employed in pairs on landing craft to target enemy defenders during the run in to amphibious assaults and raids.For the assault on Normandy in June 1944; Commandos were issued backpack flamethrowers for clearing fortified positions on the beaches. The Flamethrower; Portable; Mk 2 carried enough fuel for approximately 10 one-second bursts and were quickly discarded after the initial stages of the assault.Contains three Bolt Action Order Dice and the following Warlord Resin PlusTM figures:2-man Vickers K LMG team2-man Sniper team2-man Flamethrower team
