Produktbeschreibung
Mitchell's Marauders includes 36-page Great War rules supplement, one Company HQ, two Rifle Platoons, one Machine-gun Platoon, one Royal Artillery Gun Detachment, one Medium Tank Platoon (with decal sheet).
Your rifle company is well-equipped for assaulting and crushing the enemy. Prepare your assault with your Mark IV tanks. They will pulverize Jerry’s gun nests with high-explosives and rake his trenches with machine-gun fire. Then send in your highly-trained rifle platoons to clear out the trenches and breakthrough.
With a gap opened up, send in the fast Whippet tank to machine-gun and run down the enemy on the run. No doubt the enemy will try and counterattack, so have your machineguns set up to cut down their infantry and carefully sight your 18 pdr artillery guns to knock out German A7V tanks.
Company HQ contains 2x Command teams and 1x Sniper team.
After three long years of war, the British infantry are worn, but their courage has not dimmed. They can look to their officers to provide an example. The company’s major will draw his revolver and lead the men forward, as he has always done, to glorious victory.
Rifle Platoon contains 1x Command team, 4x Rifle teams, 2x Rifle Grenade team and 2x MG teams.
Jerry has thrown everything at us – machine gun bullets at the Somme, shells at Verdun, and their vile poison gas at Ypres – but ‘Tommy’ has held firm. The traditional qualities of British infantry-courage, discipline and marksmanship-have stood them in good stead along with their trusty ‘303’ Enfield rifle.
Rifle Platoon contains 1x Command team, 4x Rifle teams, 2x Rifle Grenade team and 2x MG teams.
Now, with Lewis light machine-guns, bombers, rifle grenades, and hard won experience, we are pushing the enemy back along the front. Our new recruits make up in dash what they may lack in experience. When the whistle blows, they will be ready to charge through the mud to the green fields beyond.
Medium Tank & Heavy Platoons contains 1x Mark A Whippet tank (Medium Tank Platoon) and 2x Mark IV male/ female tanks (Heavy Tank Platoon) with decal sheet.
The British Army has applied its technological superiority to develop a new weapon-the tank-to achieve decisive breakthroughs on the battlefield. A year on since their debut at Messines Ridge, the Mark IV version is now in full production, with improved armour and fire protection. The tanks are armed as either male (with two six-pounder guns) or female (with four machine guns) versions.
The latest development from British industry, the Whippet medium tank, is designed to follow up and exploit the breakthroughs that are made by the heavy tanks. The 8-mile-perhour speed of the Whippet will enable it to surge ahead and complements the strength and firepower of the Mark IV.
Machine-gun Platoon contains 1x Command team and 4x Vickers HMG teams.
If there is one weapon that the British infantryman trusts more than his 303, it is the Vickers machine gun. The modern Vickers is a symbol of British industry. Sturdy, with a tripod for accuracy and water-cooled for sustained fire, it is supremely reliable. The Vickers dominates the battlefield, warding off German attacks, and providing a tremendous base of fire for our men to advance under.
Royal Artillery Gun Detachment contains 1x Command team and 2x OQF 18 pdr gun teams.
The OQF 18 pounder field gun is mobile for its size, which lends it to use by forward detachments. The Royal Artillery are learning to operate in small units attached to the front line infantry to help deal with German tanks or offer direct fire to knock out enemy gun emplacements. |
