Command Set – Battle of the Bulge U.S. Infantry
Model: BBA097
Scale: 1/30
Finish: Matte

This detailed two-figure set portrays the critical command and communication elements within a U.S. Army squad during the harsh winter campaign of the Battle of the Bulge.

The prone radio operator is outfitted with the iconic SCR-538 field radio, complete with handset and aerial, essential for relaying battlefield intel under fire. Due to the cumbersome weight of the radio gear, he's armed with the lighter M1 Carbine—a practical choice for mobility and defense.

Beside him, a kneeling squad leader scans the battlefield through binoculars while gripping his Thompson submachine gun—a weapon rarely issued to junior NCOs, suggesting his higher rank, likely a sergeant. His long wool overcoat and snow-dusted helmet reflect the brutal conditions faced by Allied forces in the Ardennes during December 1944.

Perfect for collectors and diorama builders, this set brings to life the coordination and leadership at the heart of American infantry tactics in WWII’s most grueling winter battle.
