What is included in the box?
The set includes the components to build three units: a German Headquarters element (officers), a Medium Machine Gun team (with MG34/MG42 and tripod), and a Medium Mortar team (with 80mm Granatwerfer 34). All models are supplied unassembled and unpainted.
What scale are the miniatures?
The miniatures are in 28mm scale, which is the standard scale for the Bolt Action tabletop wargame.
Are the models plastic or metal?
The models are made from plastic. The specific type of plastic (e.g., hard or soft) is not specified, but they are typical of wargaming miniature sprues.
Do I need glue and tools to assemble them?
Yes, as the models are supplied unassembled, you will require plastic cement or super glue suitable for miniatures, as well as clippers and a hobby knife to remove parts from the sprue and clean up mould lines.
Are bases included for the miniatures?
This is not explicitly specified in the provided information. Typically, Bolt Action infantry and crew-served weapon teams come with appropriate slotted bases, but it is advisable to check with the retailer at the point of purchase to confirm.
Can these units be used in other wargaming systems?
While designed for the Bolt Action rule set, the 28mm scale historical miniatures could potentially be used in other World War II themed tabletop wargames, provided the scale and basing are compatible.
What is the historical context for the units?
The set represents German Heer (Army) support elements from the early to mid-war Blitzkrieg period. The MG34 and later MG42 were general-purpose machine guns, and the 80mm Granatwerfer 34 was the standard medium mortar, providing infantry with organic heavy firepower.
