We’ve got targets – get the mortar ready!
Mortars, particularly the 81mm ‘medium’ variety, were some of the most effective anti-infantry weapons of the Second World War, and US forces made extensive use of their capabilities. Able to lob explosive shells over the heads of friendly troops, they were particularly effective at digging out enemies from entrenched positions. The US Airborne often found themselves without heavy artillery support, making the lightweight and portable mortar an invaluable part of their battlefield tactics.
The Medium Mortar is a true icon of Bolt Action, providing your Heavy Weapons Platoons with a deadly indirect fire capability, perfect for blasting enemy troops out of heavy cover – remember, indirect fire ignores cover saves! If you add a Spotter, it becomes even more dangerous, able to engage targets that would otherwise be safely out of sight. With US Airborne forces relatively light on big guns, this Medium Mortar team with its winter-clad crew will be a welcome addition to any Battle of the Bulge-themed army!
