Market Garden Heavy weapons (1 Viewer)

[RAMC]

Not a demand, more a question. As we have a para carrying mortar bombs when can we expect a mortar. There is a famous photo of a british mortar team at work, and figures to recreat this image would be great.

Also am I right in thinking that the Paras had the air portable american howitzer with them the same as in the Bulge set? A para team to go with that would be good to go up against all that German heavy stuff.

I think I have seen that photo before. A set like that would be cool

Yes, the paras and airlanding units had the US-built 75mm pack howitzer. They also had the 6-pounder AT guns. Both of these used Jeeps as prime movers and ammo vehicles. I read somewhere that some 17-pounders were brought in by glider but haven't confirmed it.

OMgWhat we need is some more recce jeeps with differetn figures in fighting posesI thought the Polish forces came out really fast, I mean I expected maybe some more British figures before the Poles came outGreat figures but

An ambulance jeep and medic figures would be cool, and some wounded, that little vehicle which carried Michael Caine's character in the movie 'A Bridge Too Far'

Some more British armour and any kind of HALF TRACK

And to top it all off we need some paras with opened chutes, or before the jump

Medical Evac Jeep or Figure set would obviously get the thumbs up from the old RAMC. After all more VC's than almost any other regiment.

I didn't realize that was the case. Very interesting. I know surgeon Reynolds from Rorke's Drift won one. Good on the RAMC.
