Flames of War British Airborne Mortar Platoon (x6 Plastic) New

Flames of War British Airborne Mortar Platoon (x6 Plastic)

British Airborne forces relied on light, portable, and effective fire support once deployed behind enemy lines. The 3-inch mortar platoon provided the paratroopers with quick and accurate bombardments to suppress enemy positions, break up counterattacks, and cover assaults. Light enough to be carried in by glider or dropped with the troops, these mortars were essential for giving airborne units their own integral artillery.

Product Info:
This set includes six plastic 3-inch mortar teams with British airborne crews, plastic bases, and unit cards for Flames of War.

About the Unit:
The 3-inch mortar was the standard British infantry support mortar, valued for its reliability and effective range. For airborne regiments, these weapons ensured that paratroopers were never without indirect firepower, even in the opening hours of an operation before heavier artillery could be deployed. They were vital in actions such as Normandy and Arnhem, where airborne troops had to hold their ground against determined German resistance.

About the Models:
In 15mm scale, this kit provides detailed mortar teams with airborne crew figures. Supplied unassembled and unpainted, the models allow hobbyists to build historically accurate airborne fire support units. Unit cards are included for quick and easy integration into Flames of War armies.
