'Sport' from BenitoM: Battlefield Hunters

This bonus round has given me some headaches… “Sports”?? How could I fit this topic in my major project, the British Airborne platoon. Until I remember a wargame scenario for Through the Mud and the Blood (TooFatLardies 1WW rules), some years ago: it featured a British officer and large landowner, acting as sniper and hunting enemies like when he was hunting in his estate in Britain.

So the closest models I can argue are in compliance with the current bonus round are these two snipers teams.

I’m not totally sure they acted in pairs, but the British Airborne platoon in the Second World War had a reinforced allocation of marksmen. A sniper team was attached to the headquarters of the platoon and a second team was embedded in the third section of the platoon (integrated by two LMG teams).

The models presented here are from the Warlord British Airborne range. The sniper figures are from a metal blister reference while the guarding companions are from the plastic box.

Note the model standing is wearing neither a beret nor a steel helmet but the camouflaged scarf usually wore around the neck by the paras.

With this entry I credit an additional 70 points to my Challenge Score (4 models

x 5 points + 50 points bonus)
