...Rubicon Allied kits, many have an abundance of .30 cals, the LVTs in particular.

Hell, you could even justify one to go with your late war Scots.

Now you've done it... (should that be with or without a Polsten?)

Very nice, added to my 'wish list'.

Anyone know of a source for .30 cal Brownings in 28mm?

Just putting the 30 cal, both vehicle and ground mount, and the GPMG with vehicle mount into moulds so will be released as a pack in the not to distant future.

They actually had a gun that size?! It looks like a WH40K model! It can't have been pleasant inside the turret when that thing went off.

The French have always had some interesting ideas when it comes to armoured vehicle design!

Brilliant, all of those will be very useful.

Any chance of an MG3 (or MG42) on a vehicle mount suitable M113Gs?

That AML looks great - it is now a question of justification...
Will you have a matching French wheeled APC of the period in the future?

Re: [COMMERCIAL] Empress RELEASE BAOR WOMBAT AND CREW.
« Reply #268 on: July 30, 2021, 09:36:41 AM »
We have just released the 28mm BAOR crewed WOMBAT Recoilless Rifle for the Cold War range.

120 mm BAT recoilless rifle replaced the 17pdr and in its WOMBAT form was a new build weapon with a lightweight carriage, which meant that it was usable by all air Mobile (Infantry Battalions) plus mobile troops, such as the Parachute Regiment and Royal Marines. It was also fitted to vehicles, such as the FV432 or a 3/4 ton portee Land Rover.

When fitted with an M8C .50 cal spotting rifle which fired a zirconium-tipped spotter tracer round visible past 2,000 yards, it could engage targets out to 2,000 m (2,200 yd). The strike was observed by the No. 1, who called the fall of shot. The No. 2 maintained the spotting rifle and observed the back blast area. The WOMBAT entered service in 1964, rapidly replacing earlier versions in service with the regular army.

It was phased out of the Regular Army in the early 1980's being replaced by the Milan ATG although continued in service with many being kept in stores for use in time of war.

The Parachute Regiment took three to the Falklands but they were never deployed.

Keep them coming Paul, this range just gets better and better :)

The Saracen is definitely going to find its way onto my shopping list, along with the FV432 and a bunch of land rovers when they are ready, and I’m sure I can find a use for the wombat.

Quick question on TA units at the time...are the current minis perfect for them, or would there have been differences in terms of kit? While stationed in the UK, before deployment, would helmets have been uncovered etc?
