Latest game: approach to a siege.


Can the defenders stave off the attackers for long enough to evacuate the peasants and their sheep to the town?
Errr ... yes. They did.

So because I said that 2020 was going to be a year of Napoleonics ... I had a review of my 1944 British.
Squadron of recce Cromwells, bulk of a Sherman squadron (awaiting the Fireflies), 5.5" Howitzers and some Funnies.


Crocodiles and Crabs.

Since these photos were taken, I've added the Fireflies, a Churchill ARV to the Churchill squadron, and some Achilles to replace the Archers (which were transferred to the 51st Highland Div).

Great photos, Nobby!  :-bd

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Thats a real downer.  You then really have to be in the mood to start them again.

You know ...  that's very true. I'm looking at their little white faces and thinking "there's the Greeks to paint."

Anyway. Can I check that I've got everything for the British 1944? I've had a revamp and added a few things.

top: 17pdr, 5.5" howitzer, Sexton, towed 25pdr, recce a/cs: Middle Achilles, Crusader & carrier AOPs, Bottom Sherman/Firefly squadron (incl Crusader AA) & recce Cromwell/Challenger squadron

Top: Churchill Sqn: Middle Churchill bridgelayers, AVRE, Crab, Crocodile bottom: Leyland Retriever, Archers

Infantry company with half tracks (sorry about the quality)

Top 2" Mortars, bottom Engineers, Vickers

Still to paint: Carrier platoon and some Morris Commercials as an alternative to the half tracks.

I fancy some 6pdrs for the infantry company. Don't like Stuarts, so they're out. 

But after that ... no more.

Done.

Finished.

No more.

Maybe some 4.2" mortars I can nick off the Americans?

Some more softskins? A bowser maybe?

Aright, nobody move. I've got a dragon and I'm not afraid to use it.
