The advert for the new campaign supplement for Bolt Action about the Pacific island-hopping battles shows an Allied amphibious vehicle crawling onto the beach. By the tracks, it appears to be in the Loyd Carrier family, but I can find no references to an amphibious Loyd Carrier. And isn't the supplement about US forces? Would this have been a reverse Lend-Lease to the US Army and Marine Corps? |
