US RANGERS - WWII ELITE INFANTRY
Bolt Action - From Hobby Heaven ๐
๐ "RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!"
Dawn, June 6th, 1944. As the largest seaborne invasion in history began on the beaches of Normandy, a small group of elite soldiers faced an impossible mission. The US Rangers were tasked with scaling the 100-foot cliffs of Pointe du Hoc under heavy enemy fire to neutralize German artillery pieces that threatened the Allied landings. Armed with grappling hooks, ropes, and indomitable courage, the Rangers began their ascent into legend. Despite taking nearly 70% casualties, they completed their mission and held the position against fierce counterattacks for two days. This was just one of many extraordinary feats that earned the Rangers their reputation as America's premier fighting force. Trained in amphibious operations, mountain warfare, and night combat, the Rangers were deployed for the most demanding missions across the European Theater. Their motto "Rangers Lead The Way!" wasn't just a sayingโit was their promise to take on the missions others couldn't handle. Now, command these legendary warriors in your Bolt Action battles and witness firsthand why they struck fear into the hearts of their enemies! ๐ชโญ๐บ๐ธ
