British Para Mortar and Forward Observer

My Paras really needed some fire support so here's a 3 inch mortar.

With these 'team' weapons I generally prefer to keep all the figures on one base. It looks more natural and allows room for a bit more scenery. It does mean you have to track casualties with little markers but that's not exactly onerous.

If you're interested then you can find out a lot more about mortars here ;o)

The Paras also needed a proper Forward Observer to rain shells on the enemy! (In Bolt Action this is a free - and very welcome - addition to most British forces) I haven't added a radio aerial as they always seem to break off.


I assume the extensible cover for the radio backpack protects it from the elements and maybe makes the knobs and dials easier to see and use?

Thanks for looking.
