Up close and personal


While I don't suspect this weapon team will take out many tanks, they do offer a reasonable threat to light transports such as soft skinned trucks and open topped Hanomags.


I love my 47mm Anti Tank gun team, and the mobile version mounted on the Laffly, but this is much easier to conceal.  Adding the small team factor, it will probably take 7's to hit them.


I finished the basing on these guys before I had the Mig AMMO mud, so they don't have the splashy mud effects on them.


These smaller weapon teams are a of fun, especially on the oval bases!


The view from above shows a team ready to hunt down those pesky soft skinned vehicles!

  1. They look the business! I've always had a bit of a liking for anti-tank rifles. The Marines used the British Boyes in the Pacific theater into 1943, since it could still destroy the Japanese tanks of the time.

    1. I have been very surprised at how effective these can be in certain roles, such as taking out lightly armored transports! It's almost more important to go after those than the tanks...
