Commandos Support Group (hq, Mortar & Mmg)

HQ

The middle ranks of officers were almost invariably drawn from the upper-middle classes: educated in the public schools, instilled with the values of empire, and imbued with a sense of confidence, duty, and resolve that is difficult to conceive of today. An officer unit consists of the officer himself and can include up to two other men acting as his immediate attendants.

FOO

Forward observers are liaison officers responsible for coordinating the attack of heavy artillery batteries from behind the lines or aircraft strikes.

Medium Machine Gun Team

The .303 Vickers water-cooled machine gun provided fire support to infantry units. This was another weapon of World War I vintage that soldiered on through World War II and beyond, proving extremely effective at laying down continuous fire over a long range. A typical team consisted of a lance corporal gunner, a loader, and an ammunition bearer.

Medium Mortar Team

The 3-inch mortar was used to provide support from up to 3,000 yards depending on the projectile used. The 3-inch mortar was operated by a crew of 3.

Models supplied unassembled and unpainted.
