3rd Squad, Fire Support

October 7, 2018

As I finished 1st Squad during the Bootcamp last weekend I got to work on 3rd Squad during this week and finished today.

3rd Squad you say? This is only due to the numbering I have below the bases. And as I wanted to paint a fire support squad next, 3rd Squad was up 😀

The Squad consists of:

a Sergeant with SMG
a PFC with a BAR
a Sarge, a Corporal and 2 Privates manning 2 .30cal MGs
a Corporal, two PFCs and a Private with Carbines

As an MG team consists of two soldiers in Bolt Action and they can be killed individually, I magnetized the second guy onto the MG base. This way I can remove the second guy and still leave the MG. Or I can remove the MG and still have the second guy running around. It was a bit fiddlely with the snow, but I am quite satisfied with the result.
