I've noticed that whenever one of these sets featured a special piece - like this machine gunner with large MG on tripod - or, if they offer several large terrain/detail pieces, that only four figures are included in the set vs. five. Also, you'll notice that this set is heavy on machine gunners featuring three in one set.
This guy is definitely firing a MG42 with what has to be one of the most over-engineered tripods of WWII. It must have been incredibly unwieldy toting this arrangement around the battlefield, and with the tripod sitting so high, the gunner had to be concealed behind a wall or sandbag pile or otherwise he'd be a sitting duck. BTW, this is another piece that will not fit on one of FOV's one-size-fits-all figure bases.
