I thought the modern method for settling Youtube disagreements was for the Vloggers to humiliate themselves by doing rubbish boxing.

But the 34 is much the same !

In the section role the Bren was much better...the 34 and 42 have several design holidays in them, in particular no way of holding the red hot barrel when you need to change it ! In the SF role the Vickers was better, if you had liquid to keep it cool. Moving it was an absolute pig, but that was one use for a carrier !

We keep identifying the need for the humble little Carrier !  :)

If you have a full strength Btn then the carrier platoon has about the same fire power as a rifle company, so could be used as a fast reserve....It was also useful for shifting the 3" mortars which had to be close to the front due to very short range.

Added some armour assets to the options for my 10mm ww2 forces, a Hetzer and a Cromwell.

Not going to update with all the figures I've painted since the last update - maybe I will at some point who knows - but the current effort is to make a moderately respectable (and portable) wargame surface out of a pinboard. Still a long way to go before it looks good, but here's a start.



And Merry Christmas!

Finally returned to painting some 10mm figures.
Bit of odd white balancing has made the 221 look blue - but I'm certain it's grey!
