Assembling The Mortar Platoon (US785)

All Flames Of War infantry and guns are supplied with appropriate bases. Assemble your infantry teams by gluing the figures into the holes on a base of the right size. Super glue works well for this.

There are usually several figures with each type of weapon, so you can create variety in your teams. It doesn’t matter which mix of figures you put in each team, as long as the mix of weapons is right.

Mortar Teams

Base the Mortar teams on a medium base with a loader, a gunner and either an NCO or gun crewman. Each crew has a mortar with baseplate, bipod and spare shell. The team faces the long edge.
