It doesn't have those things because its a platoon one, and - as is clear from the background detail - he's just run from Bardia to Tobruk, with the rest of his platoon (although judging from the state of his clothes he might have tripped over the tea mug dangling from his web gear). Platoon SHMGs* (Super Heavy Machine Guns) were never issued the drum mag and AA sights. Sheesh. Call yourself a grog huh? Regardless JonS * Ask Hof why the Bren-with-tripod qualifies for this status. He's the only one who seems to believe that little nugget, but then he's the expert on CW kit. ** FSTK - ever since this came up oh so many threads ago I've been thinking of that poster. :cool: [ 10-18-2001: Message edited by: JonS, not because he needed to.

Michael Dorosh Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 Andrew Fox is the git - he never bothered to mod this uniform. Andy, I expect to see it in my mailbox by the weekend. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMplayer Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 Is that a portable Victory Flag he's holding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the secret why British soldiers won every battle they fought in: they kept changing the victory conditions. - Tommi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew H. Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 I think the Bren's ROF needs to be adjusted downwards...it must be hard to change the magazine whilst holding that big flag. Although having the gun on the tripod would make things easier. Also, these guys should be easier to spot with that flag. Although I suppose that might depend on the direction the wind is blowing. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
