Red Devils Spotlight When the planning began for D-Day: British we knew we were going to include the British airborne forces. This also gave us an opportunity also begin looking at them for Mid-war, focusing on their early actions in Tunisia and Italy, and so Red Devils was born. Like the All American booklet also covers the Rangers, we also choose to include the Commandos in Red Devils, as well as all the Unit Cards and Command Cards to use with these forces. Check out Red Devils Spotlight here...

Mid War Airborne Spotlight All American and Death From Above cover the Airborne units of the United States, Germany, and Italy during the Mid War period and bring your Late War paratroopers from the battlefields of France to the deserts of North Africa, the streets of Stalingrad, and the fearsome fighting in Italy.  Players will be able to bring their newly-finished Late War US and german Airborne and Ranger forces back to Mid War to bring their elite skills to bear against their enemies.

British Airborne Forces

Parachute Company (Plastic) (BBX49) The elite British paratroopers dropped on the flank of the D-Day landings to destroy German coastal guns overlooking the landings, and to capture vital bridges. Dispersed behind the enemy lines, they were able to regroup and secure their objectives under the most difficult conditions. Parachute Company (Plastic) (BBX49)...

Rifle Company (Plastic) (BBX53) The cornerstone of your force is your rifle platoons. You have your carriers, mortars, and anti-tank guns in support. When you need them, the colonel will give you support from machine-guns, heavy mortars, armour, artillery, and air power to make a true combined arms unit capable of both unremitting attack and aggressive defence. Rifle Company (Plastic) (BBX53)...

Airborne Vickers Machine-gun Platoon (Plastic) (BR814) Armed with the incredibly reliable Vickers medium machine-gun, this platoon gives heavy, sustained fire support for your company. One of the machine-gun platoons located around Ranville has been used to provide indirect map fire for several units. Airborne Vickers Machine-gun Platoon (Plastic) (BR814)...

Vickers Machine-gun Platoon (Plastic) (BR728) Unlike many armies, the British Army has specialist machinegun battalions. These experts have perfected the use of the famous Vickers machine-guns, whether laying down a withering crossfire or or firing over the infantry’s heads supporting their attacks. Vickers Machine-gun Platoon (Plastic) (BR728)...

Airborne 6 pdr Anti-tank Platoon (Plastic) (BBX51) Airborne companies by their very nature are lightly armed. German Panzers have the ability to make a meal of even the toughest troops if they are unsupported, so you need anti-tank assets with you on the ground and in action immediately. This is where the 6 pdr-armed airlanding anti-tank platoon comes to the fore. Landed in gliders, these guns can be deployed quickly to meet the German armoured resistance. Airborne 6 pdr Anti-tank Platoon (Plastic) (BBX51)...

Airborne 75mm Light Troop (Plastic) (BBX50) In order to make sure airborne forces have ready access to artillery support, the airlanding light regiment lands with its 75mm pack howitzers in Horsa gliders. Even when the field regiments of the Royal Artillery have made it off the beach, with so many competing demands for fire missions, the airborne troops expect to have to fend for themselves, so this integral light artillery support is essential. Airborne 75mm Light Troop (Plastic) (BBX50)...

Airborne 3-inch Mortar Platoon (Plastic) (BR815) With six tubes at their disposal, the airborne mortar platoon is quite effective. Landing by glider, the platoon is quickly ready for action, providing the company with its own integral, highly mobile and accurate light artillery asset. Mortar bombs fly in a high-arcing trajectory, soaring over friendly troops and intervening terrain, to drop down onto the target from above. Unlike most other infantry weapons, they cannot conduct direct fire. Airborne 3-inch Mortar Platoon (Plastic) (BR815)...

3-inch Mortar Platoon (Plastic) (BR729) 3-inch mortars provide effective fire support, keeping the Germans deep inside their foxholes as you assault their positions, or forcing them to hit the dirt as they approach your lines. 3-inch Mortar Platoon (Plastic) (BR729)...

German Airborne Forces

Fallschirmjäger Company (Plastic) (GBX136) The paratroopers of the Fallschirmjäger divisions saw themselves as the best of the best. After jumping out of aircraft, combat held little fear for them, whether stubbornly defending or launching their own attacks to push the Allies back. Fallschirmjäger Company (Plastic) (GBX136)...

Fallschirmjäger Rifle Platoon (Plastic) (GE768) Fallschirmjäger rifle platoons are larger than normal rifle platoons to allow for expected parachuting casualties on landing. This added manpower gives them greater resilience in prolonged ground operations. The esprit de corps of the Fallschirmjäger together with their extra team per squad make them the toughest and most feared German light infantry. Fallschirmjäger Rifle Platoon (Plastic) (GE768)...

Fallschirmjäger sMG42 Machine-gun Platoon (Plastic) (GE770) The MG42 is a powerful weapon capable of firing 1200 rounds per minute at ranges up to 1000 metres. This makes the tripod-mounted sMG42 heavy machine-gun ideal for establishing a defensive line, covering your flanks, or suppressing the enemy's fire before an assault. Fallschirmjäger sMG42 Machine-gun Platoon (Plastic) (GE770)...

Marder II (7.5cm) Tank-hunter (GE103) During 1943 the Fallschirmjäger received their first armoured vehicles, Marder II tank-hunters. Keep your tank-hunters in reserve and use them to plug any immediate holes in your line caused by assaulting enemy tank formations. Marder II (7.5cm) Tank-hunter (GE103)...

Fallschirmjäger 7.5cm Tank Hunter Platoon (Plastic) (GBX139) Although they only have a handful of anti-tank guns, the newly-equipped Fallschirmjäger have been issued the latest 7.5cm PaK40. This powerful gun is often mistaken for an '88' by fearful Allied tankers. Fallschirmjäger 7.5cm Tank Hunter Platoon (Plastic) (GBX139)...

Fallschirmjäger Mortar Platoon (Plastic) (GE769) The Fallschirmjäger use light 8cm mortars as company and battalion mortars. These are nicknamed Stummelwerfer or ‘Stump mortar’ for their short barrels. The Fallschirmjäger found their mortars useful in breaking up American assaults on Hill 192 in Normandy, firing into the gullies where the Americans formed up. The big regimental 12cm mortars fire a heavier bombardment at a longer range than the light 8cm mortars. However, they are less versatile as they lack the capability to fire smoke screens to blind the enemy as your troops manoeuvre. Fallschirmjäger Mortar Platoon (Plastic) (GE769)...

Fallschirmjäger 3.7cm Tank-Hunter Platoon (Plastic) (GBX137) Lightly-equipped paratroops will always be vulnerable to armoured counterattacks. Airdropped light 3.7cm anti-tank guns protect against this threat until heavier weapons can arrive by other means. Fallschirmjäger 3.7cm Tank-Hunter Platoon (Plastic) (GBX137)...

Fallschirmjäger 2cm Anti-aircraft Platoon (GE541) Anti-aircraft guns land as soon as an airfield is captured. Once the surprise of an air assault is gone, anti-aircraft guns are vital to protect ground forces. Fallschirmjäger 2cm Anti-aircraft Platoon (GE541)...

Fallschirmjager 10.5cm Recoilless Battery (GE562) While its main role is firing artillery bombardments, the 10.5cm LG40 recoilless gun can be used for short range ambushes against roving tanks. Fallschirmjager 10.5cm Recoilless Battery (GE562)...

Fallschirmjäger 7.5cm Artillery Battery (GE576) The light guns of the Fallschirmjäger artillery batteries are small enough to hide, easily transportable through rough terrain, are good against armour at short range, and provide adequate artillery support in the field. Fallschirmjäger 7.5cm Artillery Battery (GE576)...

Fallschirmjäger 5cm Tank-Hunter Platoon (Plastic) (GE514) Since arriving in Italy, the paratroops have gained a small number of heavier anti-tank guns like the 5cm PaK38. Fallschirmjäger 5cm Tank-Hunter Platoon (Plastic) (GE514)...

Fallschirmjäger Gaming Aids Even though they are toy soldiers, your troops react to heavy fire like real soldiers. Sometimes they get pinned down or bail out of their tanks. They can dig foxholes for protection or go to ground, hiding from the enemy. Tokens help you keep track of the state of your troops. Fallschirmjäger Gaming Aids...

American Airborne Forces

Parachute Rifle Company (Plastic) (UBX64) All company commanders take pride in their units, but parachute company commanders take that even further. They expect more from their men and in return the officers are willing to give everything for the company. Parachute Rifle Comapny (Plastic) UBX64...

Parachute Rifle Platoon (Plastic) (US792) To the man, each soldiers of the parachute regiments is a highly trained and capable volunteer. They have undergone the most rigorous training available to earn their jump wings. A Parachute Rifle Company has the best troops in the US Army. They have excellent motivation, making them very reliable, and their superior training gives them flexibility in the field to ensure victory. Parachute Rifle Platoon (Plastic) (US792)...

Rifle Company (Plastic) (UBX68) The bulk of US infantry in Normandy are from the rifle companies. These are large formations, backed up by a tremendous amount of firepower support. American artillery, tanks, and reconnaissance are never in short supply for the American 'doughboys'. Rifle Comapny (Plastic) (UBX68)...

Parachute 75mm Artillery Battery (Plastic) (UBX66) Vital to the survival of the airborne division is the air-transportable parachute field artillery battery equipped with the M1A1 75mm pack howitzer. Each gun can be broken down into nine parachute loads. These are all tied together and dropped as a single aircraft load. If all goes well, they’ll still be all together on landing. The bundles can be quickly located by the crew and assembled so as to go into action in support of the parachute infantry regiments immediately. Parachute 75mm Artillery Battery (Plastic) (UBX66)...

Parachute Mortar Platoon (Plastic) (US794) As the battle develops, you’ll want access to more and more fire support to take your objectives. Always the first to respond are the M1 81mm mortars of the battalion’s mortar platoon. Quick to deploy, mobile and accurate, it’s likely these men will have fired their whole mission before the big boys on the beach will have gotten the sand out of their radios. Parachute Mortar Platoon (Plastic) (US794)...

81mm Mortar Platoon (Plastic) (US804) American mortars provide quick and accurate fire for your infantry. Remember that each platoon leader and the company commander are trained to call for fire using some of the finest communications gear available. This gives you greater flexibility when calling for fire than any other nation’s army. 81mm Mortar Platoon (Plastic) (US804)...

82nd Airborne Gaming Aids Even though they are toy soldiers, your troops react to heavy fire like real soldiers. Sometimes they get pinned down or bail out of their tanks. They can dig foxholes for protection or go to ground, hiding from the enemy. Tokens help you keep track of the state of your troops. 82nd Airborne Gaming Aids...

Italian Airborne Forces

Parachutist Platoon (IT743) The parachutists of the Folgore Division are all volunteers. Every one of them has jumped out of a plane from heights as low as 100 metres. In such a unit there is no room for cowardice or failure. Parachutist Platoon (IT743)...

Parachutist Breda MG Platoon (IT744) The machine-guns wait until short range to open fire, keeping hidden until then as the paracadutisti sneak around the flanks to counterattack. This technique is very effective and allows the paracadutisti to defeat many times their numbers. Parachutist Breda MG Platoon (IT744)...

Parachutist Mortar Platoon (IT745) Mortars are the perfect weapon for parachutists. They are light enough to parachute into battle, but still deliver a heavy punch at long range. Parachutist Mortar Platoon (IT745)...

Parachutist 47mm Anti-tank Platoon (IT563) The only gun available to the paratroopers is the little 47/32. The paracadutisti have ‘acquired’ extra guns from nearby formations to form their 7th ‘Fantasma’ or ‘Ghost’ battery.  Parachutist 47mm Anti-tank Platoon (IT563)...
