British Parachute Company or Airlanding Company
Company HQ and 3 Platoons. Included: 6x Command teams, 6x Piat teams, 3x Snipers, 1x Pathfinder marker, 18x Rifle/MG teams, 35 x Plastic bases. The contents of this box can be used to make either a Parachute Company with three platoons or an Airlanding Company with four platoons.
The tough-as-nails paratroopers of the British Airborne, the legendary Red Devils, strike boldly into the midst of the enemy by parachute and glider. Their mission is to "Hold until relieved."
You've been waiting for them and now they are here, the British Paratroopers.
The British Airborne (along with their American Allies) spearheaded the landings in Normandy by landing behind German lines and seizing key objective and fighting off counter-attacks until the lads coming off the beach could relieve them.
Though only lightly equipped these fearless warriors were highly trained and ready for the task at hand. Their officers relied on their initiative, as the fluid nature of an airborne operation often threw up the unexpected or unknown.
In the Box:
You get a complete British Parachute Company with a Company HQ (including 3 Snipers), 3 Parachute Platoons, and Lieutenant-Colonel R. G. Pine-Coffin as a Warrior team.
You can also field a British Airlanding Company from the box, which includes a Company HQ (3 Snipers) and 4 Airlanding Platoons.
Look out for D-1 next month for complete rules and briefings for fielding British Airborne companies. |
