Supplement your KPA infantry regiments with the KPA Support Group. With leadership and enhanced firepower, your troops can surge to victory.
Containing the KPA HQ, a medium mortar team and a medium machine gun team, this set is an ideal way of beefing up your KPA platoons in games of Bolt Action: Korea.
Contains 12 metal models: 4 infantry, 2 guns & 6 crew, supplied unassembled and unpainted.
The models from the KPA support group are also available in the following:
KPA HQ
Containing models to represent an officer, a medic, a flag-bearer & a commissar, this pack lets you supplement your force with powerful support abilities.
Though KPA forces are especially hardy in Bolt Action owing to the Choson’Gul special rule (which gives them a second chance on their morale tests), adding a flag-bearer or a commissar will ensure that your forces hold the line.
Adopting the Soviet example, communist political commissars will not hesitate to execute one man to ensure the remaining troops enact their will.
The presence of the North Korean flag on the battlefield inspires the KPA forces, bolstering their ability to rally when nearby.
Contains 4 metal models, supplied unassembled and unpainted.
KPA Medium Mortar Team
The standard KPA medium mortar of the war was the 82- PM-41 or 82mm battalion mortar Model 1941.
They were seen as artillery rather than infantry weapons by the KPA. Hence, they were usually grouped for battalion-level support. Good crews could manage 18–20 rounds per minute.
Contains 1 metal gun & 3 crew, supplied unassembled and unpainted.
KPA MMG Team
The KPA used the Maxim Model 1910 as its medium machine gun throughout the war. It could be tripod-mounted, sledge-mounted, or be mounted on the two-wheeled Sokolov. It was often given a shield to help preserve the crew. The Maxim had a standard rate of fire of approximately 125 rounds a minute. In Korea, this could assist the KPA as long as they understood the proper use of machine guns during mobile warfare.
Contains 1 metal gun & 3 crew, supplied unassembled and unpainted.
