The British 3-Inch Mortar
The 3-inch mortar served as Britain's standard medium mortar throughout the Second World War and was widely used by Commonwealth forces.
Mortars offered infantry commanders a highly flexible form of indirect fire support. Unlike larger artillery pieces, they could operate relatively close to the frontline and engage enemies positioned behind terrain and defensive cover.
Their combination of portability and firepower made them particularly valuable in environments where conventional artillery was difficult to maneuver.
Perfect for Jungle Warfare
In the Far East, difficult jungle terrain placed severe restrictions on vehicles and heavy weapons.
The relatively light weight and portability of the 3-inch mortar made it an invaluable infantry support weapon.
Gurkha units operating in these conditions could use mortars to deliver high-explosive rounds against enemy positions without needing direct line of sight.
On the Bolt Action Tabletop
In Bolt Action, the Medium Mortar Team provides useful indirect firepower for your army.
It is particularly effective for threatening enemy units that would otherwise prefer to remain stationary in strong defensive positions.
Use your mortar to:
-
Target troops in cover
-
Threaten defensive positions
-
Support advancing infantry
-
Force enemy units to reposition
-
Add indirect fire to your Heavy Weapons Platoon
-
Complement your Medium Machine Gun teams
This makes the mortar an excellent support option for infantry-focused British forces.
Extra Weapon Options
This kit combines the plastic British heavy weapons sprue with dedicated Warlord Resin Gurkha crew.
In addition to building the Medium Mortar Team, the plastic sprue provides extra weapon components that can be combined with plastic Gurkha miniatures from your collection.
This gives hobbyists additional conversion and army-building possibilities beyond the mortar team itself.
