WW2 Australian Machine Gun Platoon – MMGs (1)

What would a MMG Platoon be without MMG’s? PBI that’s what!

2/2nd Machine Gun Battalion personnel operating a captured Japanese machine gun on Tarakan in 1945.

Two of the four teams I am painting up.

The figures are from Slave2Gaming and are from their Korean Range. Why” because at AU$8.00 they are a lot cheaper than Eureka Miniatures AU$12.50, and Warlord Games at a massive AU$27.50.

There is a slight difference in the shirt cuffs, but not much else. The purest in my was overcome by the miserly old codger that I am!

The other two teams tomorrow.

  1. You are now a fully paid up member of the Society of Miserly Old Codgers Kingdom, or SMOCK as we need them to protect our clothes from being soiled……………….at least from one end!

  2. They were only used in number at Tarakan and Balakapan in Borneo during 1945. I am making up scenarios for that campaign as it was solely fought by Aussies. I was just putting it together because I liked the look of it, and really for no other reason.
