We promised a holiday release, and here it is – and appropriately, it has to do with beaches (vaguely).<\/p>\n

We’ve previously previewed several 6mm landing craft of various types, and we even took a few to Colours. Today they hit the website (as well as the beach), along with a couple of others that you haven’t seen before.<\/p>\n

The largest is the Air Cushion Tank Landing Ship; this carries either 3-4 MBTs, half-a-dozen smaller APC-sized vehicles or up to a company of infantry on foot (as long as they don’t mind being squeezed in). The vessel is fully enclosed and carries four point-defence weapons.<\/p>\n

The other two vessels that we’re already revealed are the Tank Landing Craft, a conventional large flat-bottomed craft that can haul a single MBT or a couple of smaller vehicles. The Infantry Landing Craft is also derived from the LCIs of WW2 vintage but has a fully covered troop compartment to give some degree of protection to the troops inside, and carries a heavy support weapon on the roof to suppress enemy defences on the way in.<\/p>\n

The last two vessels in this release are both air cushion landing craft. The Air Cushion Landing Craft is large enough to haul an MBT or a couple of small vehicles in its open bay, while the smaller Air Cushion Infantry Assault Craft can put a platoon of infantry on the beach at high speed. Both have a single Point Defence gun mount.<\/p>\n
