Battery Support: US Infantry Artillery Crew

The effectiveness of American field artillery during the Second World War was a primary factor in Allied tactical successes. Crewed by highly trained specialists, these units operated heavy howitzers and anti-tank guns with a level of coordination that allowed for devastatingly accurate barrages. During the campaign in Western Europe, gun crews often worked under intense pressure, maintaining high rates of fire to break up enemy counter-attacks or suppress fortified positions before an infantry advance.\n\nThis set includes 4 individual US Army artillery crew figures in active handling poses. Each miniature is sculpted in a dynamic stance suited for operating a towed field gun or heavy weapon, including a gun commander, a loader, and crewmen preparing to cycle rounds. The figures are rendered with authentic M41 field jackets, M1 helmets, and standard infantry webbing, making them an ideal accompaniment for 1/35 scale artillery pieces like the M101 howitzer or M1 anti-tank gun.
