Is the Boys AT gunner firing from the hip? Was that possible? |

Not without breaking your arm I would think. |

Very heroic looking! I like 'em! The Boys AT gunner is a stud. He's not shooting. He's charging a tank and is going to stab it with the weapon.  |

No Vickers either. They might become available down the road but first I need to concentrate on the Afrika Korps set. |

I thought the Boys was used by Western Desert Force weren't they all gone by the time 8th Army was formed? |

The 8th Army was formed in Sept of 1941. The Boys remained in service until replaced by the Piat in 1943. 65000 were manufactured during the war. It was noted for its relative uselessness but it became effective against shallow dug in positions in the rocky western desert. That is my understanding at least. |

Infantry at the Battle of El Alamein Aug 1942 armed with a Boys anti-tank rifle.

Is the Boys AT gunner firing from the hip? Was that possible? Nah he is just posing for the picture. |

This is a great set from the master sculptor. Too bad they are in shorts as I can't use them for my VBCW games. I suppose they're good for north Africa and other desert settings. Perhaps also useful for India, in the 1930s. Replace the Bren with a Lewis. I'm looking at this from my iPad, and I can't find any price on the website other than the $10 USD for shipping. What are they going for? |
