US Airborne (D-Day) Platoon

Bring death from above with the US Airborne (D-Day) Platoon!

In their iconic reinforced M42 jump uniforms, these hard-bitten American paratroopers are ready to lead the charge on the Bolt Action tabletop. Combining plenty of light firepower with a ‘never give up’ attitude and intense training, these tough, veteran troops can be assembled in a variety of ways, representing many different units on the tabletop.

This kit is packed with options, allowing you to build 30 US Airborne troops in their D-Day uniforms in a variety of dynamic poses. There’s also a huge array of weaponry to arm your men with, from the iconic M1 Garand and Carbine, Thompson and M3 SMGs and BAR, to the powerful M1919 Browning Light Machine Gun and Bazooka anti-tank launchers. Alongside this, there’s a plethora of extra components including specialist equipment such as the M-227 signal lamp, M1903A4 sniper rifle, magazine pouches and holstered pistols galore, and a variety of heads, both with net-covered helmets and the infamous ‘Mohawk’ of the legendary Filthy Thirteen. All of these allow you to build the units listed below - and these are just some of the possible combinations!

Using this kit and Armies of the United States: Third Edition, you can build up to 30 infantrymen who can represent any of the following:

• Airborne Officer
• Airborne Medic
• Airborne Forward Observer
• Paratrooper Squad
• Pathfinders Squad
• Airborne Engineer Squad
