Bolt Action US Airborne 28mm

A few years ago, this boxed set was left with me as an unclaimed prize after a Milton Keynes Campaign competition. This year, I finally caught up with their owner, and we decided that I could keep the figures. So, as the last, great lockdown project, I decided to build and paint them, add a few command figures and support weapons...
Well, actually, rebulding the kitchen has actually become the last great lockdown project, but hey ho, here are some US Airborne...

1st Squad

2nd Squad

Pathfinders

.30cal team

Commanders, medic and RTO (I lost the RTO's hand, so had to graft on a spare)

Bazooka team

60mm mortar team

And always one that escapes...

So, now I've done them, what do I do with them?

Blizkeig Commander IV - Hasty Assault

Mark and Stephen took my British at 1750 points, with effectively the same lists as before, but with two turns of preprogrammed artillery and a turn of smoke to assault my 1100 points of Germans who were in dugouts and gunpits. I chose to defend the four hills near my baseline. I has three HMGs, three mortars, two command teams and six infantry platoons, with two PAK36s teams. PAK36s and mortars on the back hill, two infantry and an HMG on the front. Infantry and Mortars in the left hill as a flank guard British stalled, turn 1 they failed to reach the table, so it took them at least four turns to advance. Artillery had landed on the right-hand hill, and rear hill, but had failed to kill anything, even with two 8 gun batteries of 25lbers . My ambush was sprung out the thicket.
