One Resin and Metal Cruel Seas Marinefahprahm F-lighter

A most peculiar type of riverine and estuary craft was also developed by the Russians. This was the 1124 and 1125 class of armoured rivercraft or Bronekater. These shallow draught craft, drawing only 2-foot of water, could penetrate river systems and lakes, even being moved by rail and lorry to new locations. Some featured numerous armoured turrets, even T-34 tank turrets, and again, frequently equipped themselves with rails for the Katyusha launchers. They were tough little boats capable of receiving and dishing out punishment, though they had a small crew and were slow and poor deep watercraft.

Submarine chasers were used for destroying German U-boats that were stationed off the coast of the United States (some 67 German U-boats were sunk). In the Pacific Theatre, submarine chasers were used for amphibious landings, courier and escort duty.

SC-497-class submarine chasers were a class of 438 submarine chasers, 98 tons with a length of 110 ft 10 in (34 m) and a speed of 18 knots. 142 were part of the Lend-Lease program with 78 sent to the Soviet Union, 50 to France and 3 to Norway. The three Norwegian examples served with distinction on the Shetland bus service, running agents, refugees and weapons past the German blockade between occupied Norway and Britain.

The heat builds up as we go from one theatre with extreme conditions to another, this time desert warfare in the African and Italian campaigns.

Packed with explosive action from the initial clashes between the British and Italian armies in Libya, and Britain’s first unexpected victories, through the ill-fated British expedition to protect Greece from Hitler’s invading troops, and the subsequent desperate battles of British and Commonwealth forces in Crete against determined German paratroopers.

From there we move onto the epic tank duels in the deserts of North Africa as Hitler reinforced Mussolini’s battered forces with the deadly Afrika Korps, and the ultimate showdown between two legendary desert commanders, Rommel and Montgomery, at El Alamein.

We then have the debut of the Americans into the African theatre, their bloody setback at Kasserine Pass, and eventual success in helping to clear North Africa of Axis influence. Finishing with the Allied invasions of Sicily and mainland Italy, and the stubborn German defence that resisted the invaders almost up to the end of the war in Europe.

Far from the battlefields of Europe and North Africa, Allied forces fought a very different war against another foe, from the jungles of Burma to the islands of the Pacific and the shores of Australia.

This new Theatre Book for Bolt Action allows players to command the spearhead of the lightning Japanese conquests in the East or to fight tooth and nail as Chindits, US Marines and other Allied troops to halt the advance and drive them back. Scenarios, special rules and new units give players everything they need to recreate the ferocious battles and campaigns of the Far East, from Guadalcanal to Okinawa, Singapore, the Philippines, Iwo Jima and beyond.

Drop into hell on Earth - and come out the other side!

American advancements in repulsorlift Rift-tech have allowed a man to soar through the air in great bounds, or drop from an aircraft and control his descent safely. Using this technology, US Airborne paratroopers have been reborn as the Fireflies! These elite troops are used where surgical precision and lightning speed are called for, dropping behind enemy lines or as the vanguard of American assaults. Only the bravest and fittest men pass Firefly training, and their missions are some of the most hazardous imaginable.

This plastic boxed set gives you 18 multi-part US Fireflies, equipped with a range of weapons including M1X Thompson Rift SMGs, lethal flamethrowers, and anti-tank rocket launchers. Packed with extra components, including alternate heads, extra equipment, and a choice of flying or ‘grounded’ legs, this kit offers incredible poseability and almost endless modelling options. The detail on these models is staggering, allowing you to go all-out with your painting and create a unit that looks truly impressive on the tabletop.

On the Konflikt '47 tabletop, Fireflies are some of the best Specialist Infantry available to an American player. With superb tactical mobility, courtesy of their Regroup in Hell! Rift ability, and armed with their signature M1X Thompsons, they can get in, hit hard, and get out again. Just make sure to keep these unarmoured troops away from anti-infantry weapons!

Models supplied unassembled and unpainted.

Captured anti-tank guns were put to use again their former owners – these would very likely include German 37mm guns.

Partisans had little in the way of anti-tank weaponry. Fortunately, most of the heavier armour of the occupying forces was at the front line, and thus it was mostly outdated and lightly armed vehicles were used for security duty in occupied territory. Some partisan groups were able to get hold of anti-tank rifles such as the British Boys or local ex-army weapons PIAT anti-tank launchers were amongst some of the heavier gear that could be airdropped or smuggled through enemy lines to partisan forces.

Operation Sea Lion has proceeded, both sides have lost a lot and as a result the remainder of the German forces have been pushed to Kent where they prepare their defences against the inevitable British attack. The German high command refuse to let their blitzkrieg falter at this stage and concoct a brave, audacious and completely unexpected plan... Operation Gigant is phase two of the theoretical plan to invade Britain that has been brought forward and into action as phase one falters!

Glider borne troops and vehicles are bought in to create a surprise second front in North East England, splitting the British defences still further and driving a steel wedge down through the heart of the British countryside!

Packed with new units to defend (or destroy) Britain's defences, new scenarios on what could of been historical battles, re-construct your whole army with new theatre selectors and more off-the-wall special rules dedicated to the scientific wonders created to invade, and defend, Britain!

This time however, the Panzerbrigades will leave their treads within the mud of the British countryside and over the rubble of humble villages. With the Germans coming into Britain once again but with their complete force, can the British and the remaining Allies hold the Germans off again? Or will the German war machine repeat their success in France and steamroll over Britain?

The Daihatsu-class landing craft was a 14-meter long troop transport constructed of metal and powered by a diesel engine. Potentially armed with weapons up to 37mm in size, it was quite seaworthy and could travel at 8 knots for 50 miles carrying 1 type 95 tank or 70 men.
