Title: Under Fire Miniatures September 2018 20mm releases.
Post by: Westy38 on September 26, 2018, 06:54:54 PM

Going back in time this month to early World War 2. Three Kriegsmarine packs encompassing a command pack, MMG team with MG-08 and a 20mm FLAK team.

All figures are cast out of white metal and suitable for use in 20mm sized games, ie 1/76-1/72. Any questions will be happily answered.

Kreigsmarine 2: Naval LMG team is Germans 9 moved across to the K'marine part of the store.

Going forward with my WW2 Germans there's a K'marine signals pack to be released, along with a Danziger Polizei MMG team, a SS Heimwehr-Danzig 170mm mortar team and a SS Wachtsturmbann  platoon. These will released over the next three months.

In the meantime the link below will take you to the Under Fire online store where you can purchase these new packs.

Brilliant stuff  :-* and timely too with the arrival of the Blitzkrieg 1940 handboo for CoC.
My only minor niggle would be the loader of the MG 08... the MG 08 was, like all Maxim derivatives, fed from the right Jfrom the gunners point of view). Even considering the ranges involved with HMG or MMG fire I‘d be somewhat reluctant to turn my back towards the enemy.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll get the appropriate adjustments made.

Very nice. I've never heard of your range before but I can see me getting some Bush Wars figures in the near future.  ;)

Nice work indeed
FWIW when I googles pictures of the MG 08 they all appear to load from the left  o_o

Possibly reversed images because Moiterei is right The MG 08 and its variants (MG08/15, MG 08/18) all feed from the right. I suppose you could cut the belt off and fiddle about with the No2's hands.

No not reversed - now I have looked at another 5 or 6 photos it is the gun loads from the right but the belt exits from the left and that is what appears on photos showing the left hand side.

There is also a you tube vid of one being fired and although it feeds from the right the loader is on the left holding the empty belt free  ???

Will there be any packs of just riflemen?

Sorry Mr Wildman but there will be no riflemen. These and other packs were commissioned by a third party through the same sculptor that I use and he very generously allowed me to put his figures into production. They were all commissioned as part of a wider Westerplatte Plateau project. What's coming next is the K'marine signals pack, another MMG, a mortar & SS platoon.
