Title: 10mm Greeks 1940
Post by: KTravlos on 03 June 2017, 11:51:17 AM
Well it is 10mm. But heresy! It is not Pendraken. Mae Kulpa ?

A greek force for the 1940-1941 period of WW2.

Only a Greek would do that to Latin!   ;)

Nice to see this conflict being gamed and one which is on my radar at present. Of note is a forthcoming Osprey release on this conflict, due out at the end of November:

At one point I had to study Local Government accounting. One of the 'claims to fame' of the textbook author was that he'd served with Army Pay Corps in Greece.

Given that their main achievement in that campaign was to lose the pay chest that didn't fill me with confidence in his textbook.

Before anyone accuses me of, or congratulates me on 'thread derailment', how about that as a scenario idea.

Very nice. Although most of my WW2 collection is Pendraken, I have used Pithead, particularly for stuff Pendraken do not make (such as my motorcycle Bersagliari unit for the Western Desert). Pithead do make some obscure kit and offer a much wider range of options in some cases.

To be frank I am not totally happy with the offering-though I stress I had both good service and the figures are worth their money. 1) The Greeks and Italians are mostly the same castings-true at 10mm they would not look that different, but still I would had preferred some variation-also no Evzones :(  2) too many officers in the packs. At least for IABSM to many figures are recognizably officers. Ah well, I guess I should just be happy there was even some codes :)

I have this campaign on my potential list.
