Whilst I was waiting for yesterday’s posts Churchill tank to dry between painting stages I started some more commandos. These are the last of the figures I have and am still nearly a box full short.

The first was a Commando armed with rifle to act as the loader for the first squads Bren gun.

The loader now completes this squad.

The second was also a loader, this time for the second squad.

Again this figure completes the second squad.

Next are two commandos with SMG.

These are part of the Lieutenants team. Most times only one will be used.

A third Commando with SMG makes up the last figure.

This was added to the part completed third squad.

I still need two SMG Commando’s for the Captain, and two loaders for the Light Mortar and PIAT teams.

Although I can see no rules in Bolt Action for a Commando demolition team I am making one up based on the SAS demolition team for use in scenarios where the Commando’s mission is to destroy a target.

I have made up the demolition expert carrying a handful of C4 explosives to complete his dastardly deed! Whilst technically it perhaps should be a Lewes bomb, it will do.

I will need three more figures to complete this team and would like to make up a fourth squad as well, meaning I am twenty three figures short. Seems another box of plastic Commandos is on the cards. I am starting to see the end of this project.
