Description
Infantry weapons teams are a key component of any Bolt Action army, providingas they do great tactical flexibility for your force. Sniper teams, flamethrowerteams and light machine gun teams are among the most prevalent, presenting youropponent with multiple challenges to overcome.
By their nature as specialist raiders, Commandos go to battle lightlyequipped in terms of weaponry. However, they made good use of Vickers K machineguns – formerly aircraft-mounted machine guns – with their high rate ofsuppressive fire. These 2-man teams comprise a Vickers K gunner and his No2 laden with extra ammo.
Whilst marksmanship was a vital skill for all Commandos, those with a specialaptitude for accuracy and field craft were often employed as snipers. In theearly days of the organisation, snipers were employed on a more ad-hoc basis;later in the war they, along with their scoped rifles, were specifically listedin Commando tables of organisation and equipment. As well as being used forscouting and attacking enemy forces, snipers were also employed in pairs onlanding craft to target enemy defenders during the run in to amphibious assaultsand raids.
For the assault on Normandy in June 1944, Commandos were issued backpackflamethrowers for clearing fortified positions on the beaches. The Flamethrower,Portable, Mk 2 carried enough fuel for approximately 10 one-second bursts andwere quickly discarded after the initial stages of the assault.
