Welcome to my strange alternative world of wargaming with toy soldiers: a game for boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books (HG Wells, Little wars)

Bolt Action: 6pdr
By Normandy, the British six pdr was the standard gun for infantry division anti-tank units. The Royal Artillery had shifted to the fearsome 17pdr. This gun was also the standard AT weapon for American infantry.
It had a similar performance to a German long-barreled 50mm gun, being a compromise between power and weight. The heavier anti-tank guns like the 17pdr or Pak 88mm were clumsy oversized weapons.
Bolt Action rules use a 3-man crew so I model the crew and weapon on one base for convenience.
Great work! I model most of the crew on also, mortar teams was the one thing. I put two on the base for a light, then I can add the extra guy for a medium.
