Title: Early World War 2
Post by: count_zero99uk on 23 June 2010, 10:27:07 AM
Hello all.

For my BKC stuff i have decided to base it around the early part of the war.  The German invasion into Poland and then the push through the low countries into France.  This allows me to get a nice set of germans and then smaller sets of French, BEF, Belgiuns and Polish.

Anyway, my issue is this.  The German Heer infantry did they have the same uniform throughout the war?  IE does it matter specificaly what infantry packs I get from Pendraken as long as i dont use the wrong support weapons, no MG42s or Panzerfaust etc.

Also how to Pendraken models look next to Pithead?

Thanks
Brian.

I'm reliably informed by Dave that the infantry are all fine!

Thanks for the info, now need to work out my list, the bases i need (how many of what dims) what minis and how much to get in.  :)

So i may be a little quite on the Historic front for a while, (though i am pestering the BCK boards with questions).

Tata and have fun
Brian.

For the time being ive decided to squash this idea on its head.  Id like to get soem gaming done first.  So im going to get a couple of battle groups set up for '44 NWE British and German to start with.  Ive just asked on the BCK forum for advice on what to pick, so fingers crossed.

I will do early war at somepoint, but as i read i find its not like the movies.

Cheers for you advice though

Brian.
