Snow Fighting

We only get about 3 to 6 inches of snow per year, so when winter comes I get all my snow figures ready to deploy.
I rush outside and set up various figures and equipment while the snow lasts.
Sometimes it only lasts one day so I have to prioritize the photos.
These 60mm BMC Korean War US Army figures are new, so naturally they get first place.
Eight poses and each one is very good.  The fit well with the old Tim Mee 60mm figures but that set up will have to wait for new snow.

Fighting Positions

The American line is about 250 yards away.
An under-strength platoon is dug in, in the snow.
Each foxhole contains about a half-squad of troops.
They have a few bazookas.
But no mortars, nor heavy machine guns.
Their fortifications have no communications trenches.
They have no overhead cover.
Just seven fighting positions.
They can't be expected to hold long.

BMC Korean War US Army

 

BMC 60mm Korean War US Infantry.
The set includes the post WWII Super Bazooka.
The WWII era bazooka was getting obsolete even during the war.
So the Army kept making larger and larger rockets until they could make one to take on Tiger tanks and in Korea T-34 tanks.
These figures are designed for use in winter.
They are wearing mittens, overcoats, even blankets over their shoulders.
They even look cold.

BMC Korean War US Army

BMC Korean War US Army troops in the snow, 60mm.
These guys just look cold.
Many are wearing mittens.
The poses are very well done.
They are a great addition to my collection.
