Flames of War BBX85 BEF Rifle Platoon Plastic Gaming Miniatures
The BEF Rifle Platoon box includes formation command, rifle/MG teams, Boys anti-tank rifle, 2" and 3" mortars, and HMG teams. Unassembled and unpainted, 1:100 scale.

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:

  • Formation Command and Unit Leader Teams
  • Rifle/MG Teams
  • Boys Anti-tank Rifle Team
  • 2-inch Mortar Team
  • 3-inch Mortar Team
  • 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.
