More stuff rolling off the
workbench….
(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version):
A few more African Militia from The Assault Group
Another “Armed Office Worker”
from Victory Force
Miniatures.
Another batch of Cold War era British from Mongrel
Miniatures - this finishes off the Cold War British I currently have
on hand.
I did, however, order a handful more from Gripping Beast (along with some Argentines) which should be arriving presently (Ha! Actually they arrived while I was typing this!). I think I might, at some point, pick up another pack of Mongrel Carl G teams (as, apparently, there was one in each section!? I always thought they were a platoon weapon!?).
Also, I’d like to pick up some FV-432 and/or Saxon APCs from Sloppy Jalopy for these guys to ride around in… someday…

Not what most gamers would refer to as “modern”, but…
Two dismounted WW2 Canadian tank
crew from Black Tree
Design - should any of my Shermans
get knocked out and the crew successfully bail before it brews up… (should my
Shermans ever see action!? Over two years since I painted those… haven’t used
them yet…)
Finally some support for my
Soviet Naval infantry – a Maxim team, also from Black
Tree Design.
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:

1 Carl G per platoon was for leg infantry only. Mechanised troops had one per APC, so 4 for the platoon.
ReplyDeleteYes. I also recently discovered that section commanders did not have SMGs - they had FNs. I don't know where I got that idea? If I read it in some book or if I just assumed that they did (because they did in WW2)? So What the heck do I use these SMG armed guys for!? Dismounted drivers? would the APC drivers have had SMGs? I know they were issued to armoured crews...?
DeleteYes Tim the vehicle drivers were issued SMG's. Of course depending on the operation, you would see SMG's given to guys who were going to be involved in any FIBUA operations.

Wait... Ehem:
"I really shouldn’t be buying ANY stuff this year…"
:P
by "someday" I didn't necessarily mean this year... (though I probably will...)
Delete...and "shouldn't" doesn't necessarily mean "won't"!?
The armed office worker is great, I will do batch for my own Zombie games !
ReplyDeleteThanks! Victory Force does some really fun stuff - if a tad on the chunky side...
DeleteAll great looking figures, Tim. But I must confess I like those camo'd Brits a lot - something about modern camo! Best, Dean
