With the rise of Germany's aggressiveness, Britain has begun sending troops to bolster the French & Low Contries stance to counter it.
Here we have the first British Officer, preparing the way for the troops to follow.
This is a metal Warlord Games figure & represents a Senior Leader (for my purposes likely a Platoon Commander). These will be used for Chain of Command to assist Scott's French forces.
So you can expect this is the first of many Early WW2 figures from me. I have 1 of the box sets based which gives me enough for a Rifle Squad including the Bren Team, a 2" Mortar crew, & a couple other odd's n' sod's. I've pulled out the book so that I can also create the options for this force.
One change that will occur going forward after this squad is basing them directly onto a washer vs the combo as seen here.
He looks well past his prime; excellent paintjob btw
ReplyDeleteThanks Zabadak, as could be expected, there were likely a lot of officers who were retained to rebuild the military after the losses of WW1
DeleteNicely done Terry!
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon, standby for lots of Khaki!
DeleteAn appropriate moustache. Excited for this project sir, he's a great start.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dai!
DeleteGreat stuff Terry! Looking forward to seeing more - we're kicking around starting Chain of Command ourselves at the club.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ivor! Out of all the WW2 skirmish type rulesets I've played, this one from the Lardies is my favorite. The focus is more on the infantry, which is is it should be. Tanks don't dominate the game, although you can certainly have a couple kicking around. Our group tends to favour the early war period.
