Flames of War Marine Engineer Assault Section (x21 figures)
Marine Engineer Assault Sections were elite specialists trained for one of the most dangerous tasks in the Pacific Theater—clearing fortified enemy positions during amphibious assaults. Armed with demolition charges, flamethrowers, and specialized tools, these Marines spearheaded attacks against bunkers, caves, and entrenched defenses, paving the way for rifle platoons to secure objectives. In Flames of War, a Marine Engineer Assault Section delivers devastating close-range firepower and tactical flexibility, perfect for cracking even the toughest defenses.
Product Info:
This set contains 21 finely detailed 15mm-scale miniatures representing a complete Marine Engineer Assault Section. The models include flamethrower operators, demolition specialists, riflemen, and NCOs, providing everything needed to field a historically accurate and highly effective assault unit.
About the Unit:
During operations such as Tarawa, Saipan, and Iwo Jima, USMC combat engineers worked in small, highly trained teams. They were equipped with satchel charges to demolish fortifications, flamethrowers to clear out enemy troops in cover, and rifles or carbines for personal defense. Their role was essential in overcoming heavily fortified Japanese positions where conventional infantry attacks would suffer heavy casualties.
About the Models:
The miniatures are sculpted with accurate USMC uniforms, weapons, and gear specific to engineer units in the Pacific War. The set comes unpainted and requires assembly, giving hobbyists freedom to customize basing and paint schemes for maximum realism. Fully compatible with Flames of War’s Pacific campaign lists, this unit pairs well with rifle platoons and heavy support to create a balanced and historically themed Marine force.
