Another of the items that came in the first (larger) box of my BEF troops from Warlord Games was a 2" Mortar Crew.
From what I am reading they are more or less designed to lay smoke & only have 3 rounds of HE to expend. But thats OK. Smoke will be a boon to mitigating MG fire from advancing German troops.
I received my Empress Miniatures order yesterday which has some more items to compliment my BEF force. Things like a leader armed with a Thompson, one of the options available. The progress continues...
Another great addition. They blend in well with your basing scheme too.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how these work in Chain of Command, but in Bolt Action their only real use is as a mobile indirect fire option, though hoping for that "6" to roll on a shot, they aren't very effective.
Thanks Dai, I believe this weapon is more about dropping smoke to cover advances of troops, etc. It does state that the weapon only has 3 HE rounds
DeleteSupernb piece of support kit and fitting in well with the rest of the forc.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe, we still had a 60mm platoon Mortar when I was in the PPCLI back in the 80's. We used to lug it around, & as it was always training, we never did have any ammo for it. We often wondered how it would even come packaged to carry.
