Lovely job

This , the pontoon bridge and Le Haye Sainte were the mainstays of many a WW2 battle , with the occasional Bellona Barbarian fort , Sherwood Castle and a Roman marching fort used as well
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Yup. Got one upstairs myself.

We used one in our last blitzkrieg commander game, looks gigantic next to 10mm, but was nevertheless great!

I remember at the Penarth Club assaulting one of the big two gun turreted Atlantic wall ones in preparation for the Soviet strike into Denmark :) Great pieces the lot.

I'm now thinking a pontoon bridge would be really handy, for, errr, stuff...

Rivers. That's what pontoon bridges are good for.

I remember this emplacement - don't think I ever painted it, or at most just the sandbags round the gun. It was great for games because you could have troops running along the trenches to the block houses to throw grenades inside.

I did have the big two gun one - but it never seemed as good for games.
