GHQ Modern US Heavy Weapons 1990-2005

This time we will look at GHQ’s 1:285 scale Modern US Heavy Weapons 1990 through 2005.  This set contains eight runners.  Runner “A” is the same that came with the Modern US Infantry blister.  It contains three solders prone with binoculars and M16s, three radio operators kneeling with M16s, and three solders kneeling and pointing with M16s.  This blister contains two “B” runners, each has four seated solders with M47 Dragons and four standing solders with Stinger SAMs.  Next is runner “C”, this blister contains three of these runners.  Each runner “C” has four each two man, tripod mounted M60 GPMG and bipod mounted M249 SAWs.  Lastly we have two “D” runners, each containing four solder standing with binoculars and pointing and five solders kneeling next to a mortar. I assume the mortar is the M224 60mm mortar, and will use them as such.

This blister contains:
3x prone officer/NCO with Binoculars and M16
3x radio operators with M16
3x kneeling and pointing officer/NCO with M16
12x prone M249 SAW solders
12x two man crew M60 GPMG
8x standing officer/NCO with Binoculars
8x one man kneeling mortars




From all I have seen so far, there are no M72 LAWs for this time period for US troops.  When I base them for Team Yankee, I will have to go with another manufacture or just pretend that one of the M16 troops is carrying one on each stand.
