British Coy. HQ + Special Weapons (Beret)--makes nine figures (includes PIAT, sniper, and mortar teams)
The set contains 9 model soldiers comprising of 1 officer, 1 radio operator, 1 sergeant, and three teams of special weapons and crew. There is a PIAT team; a 2-inch mortar team and a sniper team. The weapons, heads and arms are interchangeable to enable the assembly of different postures.
The beret is a very exciting symbol elite soldiers such as the Red Devils at Arnhem. I especially associate it with the movie, The Wild Geese. The picture on the left is an alternate assembly for the officer in action.
The PIAT was a late war invention. PIAT is the acronym of Projectile, Infantry, Anti-Tank. Pure engineering faculty terminology.
The 2-inch mortar is assigned to each rifle section as support for both defence and assault. It is more like a grenade-launcher.
The sniper is probably the most dangerous soldier on the battlefield, accounting for the most kills.
Due to be released in APRIL 2022.
