The original pack came with 2 kneeling crewmen with datapads (as seen in the team on the left) and 2 kneeling with magnoculars. I'm assuming that in the hi-tech sci-fi age, they'll have a spotter who can advise on the fall of shot via com system (or the grid if playing Tomorrow's War). This being the case, I've used the figures with magnoculars elsewhere and substituted the two female comms officers from the command pack. Their nonchalant non-combat poses match perfectly with the idea of being on the mortar line well out of normal weapon range of the enemy. (I've noticed there seems to be a lack of female front-line troops in the NAC. Colonist/civilian and colonial security packs tend to have a 50/50 male/female mix, but these are the only 2 females I've spotted in the NAC military!)
RAM mortar = Rocket Assisted Munition? Any thoughts?
Like a EWE mortar but hits harder.
ReplyDelete*chuckle!*
DeleteVery nice work again.
ReplyDeleteIt's strange that the 15mm NAC range is so lacking in females, when there are so many in the true 25mm range.
Agreed! Jon needs to release a pack of female NAC figures to compensate!
DeleteAnother really nice paintjob there, and the posing round the mortar is nice.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah pretty sure RAM is Rocket assisted munition. Normally the munition would be fired, then once at a safe distance, a booster kicks in.
I'd think so - similar to a base bleed shell but more powerful.
