An elite volunteer force drawn from the ranks of the American Airborne divisions, the Pathfinders had the dangerous responsibility of dropping into parachute landing zones up to half an hour before the arrival of the main force, in order to set up a variety of specialist equipment to guide the rest of the aircraft on to the target. Once the main jump was completed, the Pathfinders would join up with the rest of their unit, and fight on as regular infantry.
With tons of specialist equipment and plenty of warm clothing, these Pathfinders are a great way to add even more character to your winter US Airborne collection, as they can serve as NCOs, Spotters, Forward Observers, or in your Airborne squads. Of course, this is just in the ‘get you by’ army list found in the Bolt Action: Third Edition rulebook – who knows what special rules they’ll get in Armies of the United States!
Remember – it’s better to drop early than late!
Box contains ten Warlord Resin US Airborne Pathfinder (Winter) figures, one Bolt Action Order die, and plastic bases.
