US Paras

Next month the schedule says we will see the arrival of the US Paras. Just in the nick of time to participate in my November club campaign of Operation Market-Garden. I am very much looking forward to these new figures. Can't wait to see how they are equipped. I think that many of the HIWs will be usable for ANY US troops. I am hoping for a 30 Cal, Bazookas and 81mm Mortars teams in the weapons pack. That would be great. In any case, the Paras are much anticipated at my painting table. Anyone else feel the same?

Cautiously optimistic!
As US airborne Infantry squads did not have an inherent BAR LMG but instead relied on an air-cooled .30 cal Browning machinegun on a tripod (and later a bi-pod) a rate of one per squad, one would hope to finally see the .30 cal Browning modeled in the H/W pack!!

Hello all,

I'm relatively new to microarmour (first order in late July), and this is my first post here. The discussion on the para's heavy weapons has raised a question I've had since I first started pouring over the catalogue. What is the difference between the Individual Heavy Weapons packs vs. the "regular" Heavy Weapons packs? Is it literally individual HW's vs. crew-served HW?

My orders to date have been for Combat Commands or vehicle packs, so I haven't yet seen any sort of HW pack, just what's in the CC's.

Thanks,
Chris
