The British Prepare More Heavy Weapons For Flames Of War

March 6, 2020 by brennon

Battlefront Miniatures are expanding upon their Flames Of War collection with lots more infantry-based elements. We start with a larger selection in the Parachute Company which is packed full of different weapon options.

Parachute Company - Flames Of War

These elite looking soldiers would have dropped behind enemy lines and got stuck in destroying the defences across the Normandy coast. Aiding them in this endeavour, you've got all manner of options like SMG Teams, Bren Guns, SMLE Rifle Teams, PIAT Teams, a Two-Inch Mortar Team and also Bren Guns for good measure.

I tend to say this quite a lot but I think that Flames Of War benefits from having more infantry in it. The tanks are cool of course but it's always nice to see the soldiers that did a lot of the fighting and securing of objectives in the mix doing their thing.

Additional Options

As well as the Parachute Company which acts as a good starting point for the infantry arm of your invasion force, you've also got a bunch of additional kits too. Here is a rundown of what is available from Battlefront Miniatures right now...

Airborne 75mm Light Troop

Airborne 3-inch Mortar Platoon

Airborne Vickers Machine-Gun Platoon

Airborne Vickers Machine-Gun Platoon - Flames Of War

These provide you with specific additional options for your Flames Of War force. I particularly like the options for the classic Vickers and the Light Troops who are going to be wheeling some of those smaller artillery pieces into play so that they can blast apart their enemies.

The Airborne options for the British will give you a good skirmishing force that is able to take command of objectives and hold them with sheer grit.

Are you tempted to pick up some of these models for your collection?
