Artillery HQ & Crew
(AJO729)
includes one Command Rifle team, one Observer Rifle team, one Staff team, three sets of Gun Crew, one Small three-hole base, one Small two-hole base, one Medium four-hole base, & two Base plug sprues.

The Jordanians were in the process of equipping several battalions with American M114 155mm howitzers when the war broke out.
Despite its new name, the howitzer is the same as the old M1 155mm howitzer that American troops used in WWII. The remainder of the Jordanian artillery was equipped with old British Ordnance Quick Firing 25 pdr guns. Despite its age, the gun still performed its job well, delivering a high volume of fire to silence targets and break up enemy attacks.

Observer teams need a good view of the battlefield in order to do their job correctly. Be sure to deploy them in a position where they have an excellent view of the battlefield such as on a hilltop or on the top floor of a multi-level building.

Staff Teams
To do their job, a staff team needs lots of maps, plotting boards, charts and tables, not to mention radios and telephones. All this equipment prevents them from being very mobile or effective in combat.
Although they are an Infantry team, Staff teams are part of their Artillery platoon and move slowly as if they were a Heavy Gun team. A Staff team can shoot as a Rifle team, but cannot function as a Staff team in the turn it does so.
A Staff team can function just as well when it is mounted in its own Transport team as it can when Dismounted (as long as it is not Bailed Out or Bogged Down), but cannot function at all when mounted in another Transport team.

The Artillery HQ & Crew blister pack contains enough gun crew figures (five crew figures per gun) for three OQF 25 pdr guns or three M114 155mm howitzers.
Artillery HQ & Crew blister pack contains only the figures and bases for the Command Rifle team, Observer Rifle team, Staff team, and the Gun Crew figures themselves. The OQF 25 pdr guns and M114 155mm howitzers need to be purchased seperately.
