Flames of War British Airborne MMG Platoon (x4 Plastic)
The British Airborne relied on medium machine-gun platoons to provide sustained firepower in both attack and defense. Armed with Vickers medium machine guns, these platoons gave paratroopers the ability to suppress enemy positions, pin down infantry, and defend vital objectives after landing. Light enough to be delivered by glider but powerful enough to dominate the battlefield, MMG platoons were an essential support element for airborne operations.
Product Info:
This set includes four plastic Vickers medium machine-gun teams with British airborne crew, plastic bases, and unit cards for use in Flames of War.
About the Unit:
The Vickers MMG was a proven weapon by the time of World War II, capable of sustained fire thanks to its water-cooled design. In airborne service, these guns were deployed to cover landing zones, strongpoints, and approaches to objectives, ensuring paratroopers had heavy fire support immediately available. Their ability to lay down suppressive fire made them invaluable in both defensive and offensive roles.
About the Models:
In 15mm scale, this kit provides detailed airborne Vickers gun teams with paratrooper crew figures. Supplied unassembled and unpainted, the models allow hobbyists to recreate accurate airborne support platoons. Unit cards are included for quick integration into your Flames of War army.
