Flamethrower

The tanks seem to want to press on pass the roadblock rather than stand and fight.
There are more and more tanks showing up.
The ones at the back of the row are barely moving.
The ones at the center are picking up speed.
The machine gun fires trying to hit the vision blocks of the tanks.
Flamethrowers standby.

Tanks Bunch Up

American small arms fire pings off the sides of the tanks.
The bazooka team prepares to fire.
The tanks are bunched up.
Slowing down and the road is getting crowded.
The tank coaxial machine guns fire at the troops.
The tanks are picking up speed.

Task Force Smith

Task Force Smith sets up an ambush knowing the North Koreans were on the way.
Troops with recoilless rifles, and bazookas.
They have had some time to dig in.
But not much time.
And now the tanks are here!
T-35/85 tanks race along the road.

Parrot and 5 Inch

Strelets ACW Union troops with a Parrot Rifle in an entrenched position.
Good for sieges.
Or prepared positions on the defense.
Here the Model 1890 5 inch howitzer in use by US troops.
The same crew as the ACW gun works for an early use of the gun, as the uniforms did not change much even for a long time.
Here the Parrot Rifle being used by a Boer crew.
I think they would work for Confederates, or even for an American Militia unit up to about 1900 when such guns would be out of service, but no later than 1920 when US inventories were cut after the war.
I find the Boer War figures very useful for a variety of troop types.
