Things are going from bad to worse in the Philippines in early 1941 for the Amercian forces. Especially for USMC Lt. Dan Bakburn who has depleted platoon has been given the rearguard responsibility for the retreating USAA/USMC/Philippine forces head towards Bataan. With a limited force facing overwhelming odds, the Lieutenant knows that he must plan well if he hopes to hold back the Japanese long enough to complete his mission.
As the fighting has been up-close and brutal, Lt. Bakburn and aide, Sgt. Mick Hardfist have taken trusted Remington 12 gauge "Trench-Sweepers" as their main combat weapons.
While things look bleak, Lt. Bakburn knows that his men will give their all and fight to give the retreating column as much time as they can to get to new positions and wait for the hoped for re-enforcements from the States. (Unkown to him these forces will never come intime to save the doomed Allied forces.)
These are kit bashed pieces I built and painted this month for my Early War US Pacific forces.
