M21 Mortar Carrier

By the middle of the war, the US Army could field legions of tanks and support vehicles, backed by the industrial might of the USA. Using their reliable M3 Half-track as a base, they created the M21, a mobile mortar carrier that could keep up with advancing tanks and armored infantry. This useful vehicle carried the simple yet effective 81mm mortar, with 97 ready-to-use rounds, and was crewed by a team of six men.

Generally, the mortar would be carried to a firing position and deployed, but it was not uncommon to sight and fire the mortar straight from the half-track, keeping the team on the move if needed and sheltered from shrapnel or small arms fire. A total of 110 M21s were built by the White company and saw service in Western Europe, predominantly with US forces, though some were also deployed by the Free French. The best tactic in Bolt Action is to shoot and scoot before return fire catches you.

This fantastic support half-track comes complete with 1 pintle-mounted HMG, 1 hull-mounted rear-facing medium mortar, and a full decal sheet.
