2" Mortar Teams

Continuing with my 1940-ish Highland Platoon, here is the last element needed for the base platoon, the 2" mortar team.  Anyone who has played Chain of Command with me knows that I just love using my 2" mortar teams to drop smoke all over the battlefield, so my new force could not be complete without one of these weapons!

These two teams are from Crusader Miniatures, and are intended for the 1940 BEF.  I did a very hasty, sloppy conversion to put two of the mortarmen into kilts.  It doesn't hold up to a close inspection, but at arm's length it can trick the eye.

The kilted team will join my Highlanders, and I'll have the second team on standby in case I decide they are also needed.
