Flames of War American M1917 Machine-gun Platoon (Plastic) (x4) New

The M1917 heavy machine-gun was a reliable and battle-proven weapon used extensively by U.S. forces during World War II. Water-cooled and capable of sustained fire, it excelled in both defensive and offensive roles—sweeping open ground to repel enemy infantry or laying down suppressive fire to support American assaults. Its presence on the battlefield provided both confidence for advancing troops and a serious obstacle for the enemy.

Product Info:
This set includes four plastic M1917 heavy machine-gun teams and four unit cards for use in Flames of War.

About the Unit:
When positioned defensively, the M1917 could cover wide fields of fire, locking down approaches and denying enemy infantry the ability to maneuver. In the attack, machine-gun teams advanced carefully on the flanks, firing from cover to keep enemy heads down while riflemen moved in to take objectives. This balance of offensive and defensive utility made the M1917 a cornerstone of American infantry tactics.

About the Models:
Designed in 15mm scale, the plastic HMG teams feature detailed crews and water-cooled machine-guns. Supplied unassembled and unpainted, they allow hobbyists to build and customize their platoons for Flames of War battles. With four included unit cards, integration into your American force is quick and straightforward.
