An officer unit consists of the man himself and can include up to two other men acting as his immediate attendants.British 8th Army Medium Machine GunThe .303 Vickers water-cooled machine gun offered fire support to infantry units. This was another weapon of World War I vintage that soldiered on through World War II and beyond, proving effective at laying down continuous fire over a long range. British 8th Army Medium Mortar TeamThe 3-inch mortar was used to provide support from up to 3,000 yards dependent upon the projectile used. The 3-inch mortar was operated by a crew of 3 or more (we use 3 for games) and was often transported in a Universal 'Bren' Carrier.Models supplied unassembled and unpainted
