Bazooka-it's not just for killing AFV's

Need to pop a pillbox-send for the Bazooka. Although it was designed for killing armored fighting vehicles (AFV's), the Bazooka was also quite useful in taking out buildings, hard point defenses and pillboxes.
These US Marines are part of the elite pillbox killers developed for combat in the Pacific Island Hopping Campaign. In combination with flamethrowers and satchel charges armed infantry the Bazooka were the best way for the ground pounders to tackle the many strong points the Japanese erected on their island fortresses.
These Marines are Warlord Games plastic pieces I painted in 2021.
