Flames of War BBX85 BEF Rifle Platoon Plastic Gaming Miniatures
New Arrival: BEF Rifle Platoon for Flames of War
We're pleased to announce that the Flames of War BBX85 BEF Rifle Platoon plastic gaming miniatures are now in stock at Great History Gifts. Whether you're building a British Expeditionary Force force or rounding out your early-war collection, this box gives you everything you need for a full rifle platoon in Battlefront's World War II: Flames of War game.
The BEF in the Field
When the British Expeditionary Force first arrived in France, there was a shortage of trained junior officers. As a result, only the first rifle platoon in a company was typically commanded by subalterns (officers); the second and third platoons were often led by platoon sergeant-majors (PSMs). That detail is reflected in the game, and this set lets you field platoons with either officers or PSMs in command.
Each rifle section is eight strong: a corporal, a Bren gunner, and six riflemen. They're armed with the Lee Enfield Mk III—the same rifle their fathers carried at the end of the Great War—while the Bren light machine-gun has replaced the old Lewis gun. The set also includes the newer tools of 1940: the 2" light mortar and the Boys anti-tank rifle, so your platoon can handle both infantry and light armour.
What's in the Box
The BBX85 BEF Rifle Platoon (SKU: BFBBX85) includes:
- 2× Formation Command and Unit Leader Teams
- 6× Rifle/MG Teams
- 1× Boys Anti-tank Rifle Team
- 1× 2-inch Mortar Team
- 1× 3-inch Mortar Team
- 2× HMG Teams
All miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted at 1:100 scale, so you can build and paint them to match your existing BEF or early-war British forces.
Pro tip for list-building: Combine the 3" mortar and HMG teams from two BEF Rifle Platoon boxes to field a full HMG Platoon and Mortar Section, making the box a flexible core for both rifle platoons and support options.
