Greetings all,
This is my inaugural post here, but I've been lurking on the boards (and collecting Pendraken) for several years now. I'm a big fan of the Lardies, and in preparation for the release of their upcoming "Chain of Command" ruleset I've put together a force of German FJ and British infantry for NW Europe action.
Each force has a set of leaders, infantry AT (PIAT & PzSchreck), MG, medium mortars, light mortars (I used Wehrmacht for my FJ as they don't have their own code for 50mm mortars, and I used Brit Airborne for the Tommies because I had some spares handy), engineers (again, Wehrmacht for FJ), and a number of infantry (rifles, SMGs, and a set of PzFausts for the FJ). I borrowed a Brit AB radio for each side (again, spares lying around), and then I sprung for the Mongtomery and Rommel/Ramcke models to use as Platoon Commanders (just for some personailty).
Here is the link: http://s1297.photobucket.com/user/mcdanielte/library/
I hope you all enjoy. Now that I'm officially posting here, I'll have to get some picks up of my other Pendraken stuff.
V/R,
Jack
Hi Jack, thanks for the pics, and welcome to the Forum!

Thank you Sir, I appreciate it. I'm a big fan of your work ;)
Jack
Nicely done, Jack - and welcome (openly) to the forum 8)
Welcome on board and good to see your CoC forces in 10mm :).
Howdo, Jack, good to have you aboard finally.
Welcome Jack,
Nice link
Welcome!!
Great work!
Welcome from me too Jack !
Cheers - Phil.
Welcome Jack.
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Now that I've made the leap to posting pics I'll have to start working on getting the rest of my collection documented.
FSN - I love your single-mindedness regarding the Centurions. From what I've see your desire if for Korean War. Is anyone giving any thought to some T-54/55s plus the Centurions (and M-48s from the Vietnam range) for a little Arab-Israeli wars? I was eye-balling the Argentinians and figure they could probably pass for mid-60's Israelis with the proper paintjob (could also use the French-Indochina .30 cal MG for Israelis). I haven't seen pics of the Vietnam lines' NVA w/AK-47s and RPGs (with helmets), but maybe they could pass for Egyptians/Syrians?
Forgive me if that's heresy, but I'm all for 'proxying' in 10mm, that's part of the attraction of the scale for me. :D

Jack
Ferchistsake, don't encourage him.

Thank you and "Hell yeah!". Can use some M3 half tracks, but would probably want a BTR 152.

Has no one pm'd Big Jack with the copy of FSN's Doctors note outlining the number of times were allowed to mention a certain tank
A picture is worth a thousand mentions.
But THAT IS NOT A CENTURION... it's a S'hot....

So your saying that FSN doesn't know what a Centurion looks like?
Leon... just bung him out a few Shermans...that should do him

That would be wrong.
Send him Cromwells- at least they are British.

It's not aS 'Hot. :D
And it's definitely not a's'hot as this:

;) :D ;D
New Plan Leon.
Don't bother with the centurions. Do this instead. Nobody wants Centurions.
can always rely on Nik to lower the tone....
IanS
I'm quite happy for him to lower the tone :P.
Didn't say I didn't like it........
Ian S
What's 'tone lowering' about a fantastic female body?
I'd rather look at the female form than a Tank or for that matter a Centurion s'hot or not ;D ;D ;D
And whilst on about Forces for Chain of Command (and dragging us back to topic) has anyone seen the latest Lardy vids for force selection on Lard Island News?
Not ground breaking by any stretch, but some interesting mechanisms for creating pick up and play orbats in a more realistic manner than Bolt Action

Nice recovery, mate :)
Interesting & useful vid - like their others....the bad buggers....those (along with some badgering here) are what convinced me to get these :)

No ! I can't hear the sound as I look at it while at the restaurant ! :(
( and it may be difficult for me to understand everything... that's what I like written reports ! ;) )
I like the force selection idea - there are some examples on the Yahoo group too.
I'm really rather looking forward to these - lets just hope they play as well as the videos seem to. And it would be good if they scale to multiple players too.
I'm looking to do 28mm in the desert - mainly due to the Perry plastics. And to use my existing WWII 10mm figures, to give some more options with support and the like, without breaking the bank - and it would be nice to get them on the table too.
