This pack has a JNCO, two riflemen and a gunner aremed with a Carl Gustav 84mm MAW.

BAOR 5: Light Support

This pack has a rifleman with a trilux sight mounted on his SLR, a L4A4 'Bren' gunner, GPMG gunner firing from hip and a two man Carl Custav team in movement mode.

All figures will be cast in white metal and suitable for use in 20mm games. Appropriate settings are Cold War Gone Hot, Falklands Islands, Winter of '79 and Northern Ireland.

Did the BAOR still tote SLRs when the first Warrior APCs and Mk. I Challengers came into use?

Warrior came into service around 1988/9, SA80 a bit before. So possibly some cross over with SLR, particularly with TAVR units. Challenger 1, was early/mid 1980's, so should be fine with troops with SLR. Chieftain tank and FV430 APC would probably look better (IMO)
