Description[edit]

The BattleTroops: Kurita Machine Gun Assault Platoon is a collection of 25mm scale metal miniatures for use in BattleTroops.

From the back cover[edit]

The acrid smell of smoke filled the air, thin wisps swirling like wraiths around the charred remains of the tree line. The surviving foliage of the forest stood in the background seeming to watch the blackened battlefield. Leaves quivered as if the trees fearfully waited to join the burnt stumps, as if the were aware of the fire carrying soldiers who lurked amongst them. In a rush, green clad infantry of the LCAF broke from the forest spreading throughout the clearing, ducking and dodging, finding places of cover. Afterward, two men crews, the House Steiner Fist proudly displayed on their tunics, ran together carrying heavy lasers to the fore. The soldiers settled and waited. The wind stilled as if in response to the tension of the gathered Steiners. The brief peace ended. Laser beams criss-crossed the smoke in a fantastic display. The staccato beat of gunfire punctuated the light show, counterpointed by the screams of the dying. The surviving trees took flame in a rush. Into the storm of laser and lead, the Steiners moved forward, determined. Once before the dreaded Kurita had driven them from the field. Not again. Today, the Steiners would not yield. They sought the coveted Dragon Slayer's Ribbon and the only way to win this high honor was to smash the Kurita serpent.
