Will try and get a picture up in a bit but I'm having trouble ID'ing the support weapons I need for my Belgians. In amongst the figures I have already I'm trying to ID the Milan's, Blindicide etc.

There is a kneeling figures with an RPG type shoulder firing weapon. I'd assumed this was the Blindicide?

Of the lying down figures there are two types:

Two prone figures cast on the same base. Left hand just appears to have a rifle. Right hand has a shoulder positioned tube c.3ft long (scale!) on top of a rectangular base. Milan, yes?

The other is: two prone figures. There is a line which marks them as separate bases on an H&R SW strip. This looks like the Russian Spigot team so I'm not sure what it's doing in with the NATO stuff! Def the guys on the left here: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1S92ORxtauA/TGb91Hy5q...

Any idea what this represents for a NATO force?

That is a russian heavy weapons unit - On left is a Spigot (can us a Milan), 2nd is an RPD? MG, third AGS30 grenade launcher.

Belgiums are a bit occard, the US packs (in old helemt) have obvious M16's, and if you go for the German pack it's got a very obvious MG3.

So from the stuff you have you can use the ATGW and MG, but not the AGL.

The three teams are (L to R):

Spigot - would pass for a MILAN.

LMG - might pass for the heavy barrelled FN used as a SAW by some NATO armies?

AGS-17 "Plamya" automatic grenade launcher. Something for which we need CWC stats - or am I right in having a vague membery that Mark Bevis posted some on this forum? I can't immediately think of anything else you'd use it for.

I think the other SW (not soviet) must be the Milan then. I'll base it up and see how it looks.

Not to hand , but I habitually use either or Soviet and NATO for Spiogot/Milan, From memory the Milan has the no 2 on the other side, and he has no weapon.
