About the game
The Ranger Attack Squad carries a deadly range of weapons. With these they can destroy anything in their path: tanks, walkers, bunkers, etc. Nothing can stop them. They are rightly feared as one of the deadliest unit on the battlefield. A Ranger Attack Squad includes three soldiers armed with a Shotgun and two armed with a portable Flamethrower. They are presented here in their Cerberus Camo pattern, as used in Great-Britain and Northern Europe, circa Winter 1947.
