What models to buy to create a Volkssturm battalion?

[gregernest]

We will want some pics when you're done. 

I've already made commitment to show my FoG camps when I get them done.  Waiting for the box to hit the porch right now...

I agree on both counts Steve but I know I'll end up fighting bigger and bigger battles and, 10mm is both considerably more expensive and needs loads more storage space.

Ihave shown it before and i'll show it again, these are my BKC armies. I originally wanted to have two 2000 point armies to play against my buddy'sforces. Guess i ended up bigger too

Wow, that's a thing of beauty

It's also an outdated picture, I think i have added another box since then, and almost doubled the planes.

Are they 6mm?

Also,  would you please be able to give me a sample army list you've actually used?

Neato!  If only I didn't have to tilt my head so far to the left.

I just right-click on the picture and then Rotate Right. Impressive selection.

I'd say they were 10mm getagrip

Thought so.... Wow!   That's a lot of lead.

I'm in Firefox in Windows 8.  Don't see that option.

I have Firefox and Windows 7 so perhaps it's the Image Zoom add-on that's letting me rotate the image? There are lots of interesting add-ons for Firefox that I have loaded and I often struggle to remember which one does what!

Back on track - remembered that I put together this diagram a few years ago

Which even shows that 7.5cm guns as support and as AT!!

[getagrip]

Perfect.  Thanks Fred 

You got one of them for mechanised and panzer too? 

[fred.]

Not for the Germans - do have the British ones if you follow the link.

Panzer is pretty straight forward 3-5 PzIV, 3-5 Panthers, some SPGs

Mech is half a panzer and half an infantry.

[petercooman]

Are they 6mm?

almost everything is pendraken,only half a dozen pithead vehicles in there.


As you can see, fred is also firmly in the 'mistakes were made' camp

Thanks Fred, those charts are gold dust

There are a few batreps on here that i did with the armylists mentioned:

one from normandy:

and one from late eastern front:
http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,8283.0.html

And then a few who have no army list, but the forces are pretty obvious anyway :
