I was looking at the Bolt Action Campaign Book, “D-Day: British & Canadian Sectors” and came across a commando list for NW Europe Late – War Commando Heavy Weapons Troop (Reinforced Platoon), on page 137.

As I had most of the figures and because I like playing with “different” (code for weird) armies I decided to buy the few figures I needed. I found the cheapest way to buy the extra Medium Mortar and machine Gun was to buy the British Commandos Support group.

The extra command, forward observer and medic will all come in useful for when I eventually get around to putting my SAS figures together. I also wanted to put together some different squads such as a Engineer Section and a small commando section For this I needed a flame thrower, and a light machine gun. I also wanted a sniper for this and my standard commando army. The newish resin Commando Weapons Teams box has exactly what I was after. I bought two.

Although I already had a Commando light howitzer I wanted an additional one so purchased the British Airborne Light Howitzer set.

The final piece in the jigsaw is a Crusader AA tank which I am hoping to find an stl digital file for as they are not sold in Australia.

All this arrived very promptly from Drew at the “Wargame Holiday Centre Australia”

Now all I have to do is paint them!
