Does anyone know which packs from Old Glory have BAR gunners? The Marines have their own pack of BAR troops but the standard US infantry do not. I've checked the Skytrex website and I really can't tell from the pictures. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rich

Not the LMG pack. They only have .30 cals

I believe they do

I would assume that they would have BARs. At $9 USD a pack on Warweb you're not risking much to find out.

Skytrex 15mm WW2 are the same as Old Glory, but are packaged differently. The first three squad packs on the Skytrex page are the Old Glory packs CDAI-02 and CDAI-03 re-packaged. The Skytrex squads each come with a BAR – prone in the firing pack, and the guy on the furthest left in the other two. From Old Glory, the BARs are packed as parts of the two above-mentioned packs (CDAI-02 and CDAI-03). At least that's how it was when I bought mine, well over a decade ago. But they don't seem to have changed much since then.

I hope this helps.

It's been many years, but I seem to recall that they do not include BARs. They had 30 cals with a bipod. It's been a long time, and I could be wrong though. A used the Peter Pig BAR guys. They matched up really well.

Yes, not sure about now, but originally the BARs were sold in separate packs.

AS01 AS02 AS03 seem to all have a BAR gunner. Prone, walking
with it slung on shoulder, and in AS02 holding the bar waist level.

I bought both of their US infantry packs and got the BAR gunners walking with weapon over shoulder and at hip. I didn't get any of the prone ones. But I'm sorry that I can't remember which pack of riflemen the BAR guys came with.
