Just arriving on the beach now...
Started on the infantry - forgot how fiddly the early plastics were, 10 piece per man!
I'm also short of coverless brodie helments. The kit only has 5 per box! I need 50+!
So I'm going to have to draw/print a bucket load...
It's proving a bit tricky to find details of the equipment brought ashore, but it looks like it was pretty limited. The commandos had 2" mortars and Boys AT rifles so I'm going to assume they had similar on the main beaches. No reports of Flamethrowers though... other than the tanks.
I've two Bolt Action events planned with this force, but it's a bit limited by lack of a specific selector (and history!):
Element Games in Stockport in June (2000 points split into 1 tank and 1 infantry platoon)
Firestorm in Cardiff in September (1250 points tank and 1250 points infantry)
1000 point BA force:
2nd Lt + Batman
Naval Observer + signaller
3 Sections of 10 with one Sten and one Bren
2" mortar (from Company HQ)
Boys AT Gun (from Company HQ)
Sniper (from Company HQ)
1 section of 10 Engineers with AT Grenades (demolition charges)
Mk3 Churchill in support.
1250 Infantry Force Add:
1 Section of 10 with one Sten
Dingo (Hunter)
Universal Carrier + Pintle Bren.
1000 Point Tank Force
Mk3 Churchill (Command vehicle, radio net)
Mk3 Churchill
Mk1 Churchill
M1 Heavy Tractor (Recovery vehicle)
Universal Carrier
Naval Observer
AT Rifle
1250 Tank force add:
Mk2 Churchill
Mostly bloody useless in bolt action, but that's never really been the point...
That said heavy tanks are always a pain to take down.
