All,

As I'm sure you noticed, I didn't get any gaming in last weekend as I was working hard on finishing up my WWII early war stuff.  They are now ready to go, and so I have the minis ready to play out Germany's invasion of Poland (mind you, I don't have Poles, so Soviets will be standing in for them).  I just need to find time today to 1) clean up my toy room (get the troops and table ready), 2) get the admin side of things cleaned up (my German order of battle, and mission and force generators (need to modify Ivan's 5Core Company Commander mission and army generators just a bit), and 3) map out the campaign fights (I intend on doing a 'tree,' i.e., this is the first fight, which progresses to one of two different fights dependent upon who won the first one, and so on.  So here's what I've been working on:


A look at the whole project.  Mostly German and Russian, with a bit of Brits thrown in.  Everything in here is from Pendraken, except for two officer figures (one Soviet, one German) from Minifigs.

You're expecting cool tanks, of which there are plenty, but I feel like showing off my oddball stuff


Like Soviet cavalry.


German motorcycle troops.


And Brit armored cars (ugh, I need to clean up those bases...).

wow that is a cracking add to your collection!

Love the motorcycles!

That's a lot of stuff!

I do like the French tanks, their camo schemes are always fun to paint.

For the Germans you have gone with a mid-grey for everything. I would have used a darker shade for vehicles and helmets, and a  greener shade for jackets, in early war trousers can be stone grey. Panzer crews would be in black.

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like them and I appreciate the comments.

Unfortunately the invasion of Poland looks to have been delayed for a week due to family issues, but stay tuned, it's coming!

Jack

I think that would have changed the whole course of the war!
