Officers
The middle ranks of officers were almost invariably drawn from the upper-middle classes: educated in the public schools, instilled with the values of empire, and imbued with a sense of confidence, duty and resolve that is difficult to conceive of today. An officer unit consists of the man himself and can include up to five other men acting armed with rifles or submachine guns.
Medic
The medic presents the wounded soldier with his best chance of surviving serious injury and can ensure those lightly wounded soldiers are returned to fighting fitness as rapidly as possible. In games of Bolt Action Medics give friendly models a chance to ignore wounds from small arms.
Forward Observer
Liaison officers responsible for coordinating the attack of heavy artillery batteries or aircraft strikes, Foreward Observers were often specially trained officers from the Royal Artillery, or RAF aircrew with first-hand experience of the requirements and hazards for tactical close air support.
Medium Machine Gun Team
A .303 Vickers water-cooled machine gun offered fire support to infantry units. This was another weapon of World War I vintage that soldiered on through World War II and beyond, proving extremely effective at laying down continuous fire over a long range. A typical team consisted of a lance corporal gunner, a loader and an ammunition bearer.
Medium Mortar Team
The 3-inch mortar was used to provide support from up to 3,000 yards dependent upon the projectile used. The 3-inch mortar was operated by a crew of 3.
