No worries Jack - your decision on basing is nobody's business but your own.   Keep the eye candy coming as you get closer to Caen ! 

Totally concur with both the Right Honourable Sunray and the Representative for Baselessness Bigjackmac.

I started basing my vehicles after the Great Box Drop of 2017. I can see the Representative's point about making the vehicles ubiquitous, but it's not a problem I have. All my armies, of whatever stripe, or whatever period fight in July or August. This makes basing, terrain &c much easier - even if if does mean I'm not likely to do the Battle of Bastogne or the Chosin Reservoir.

These are the choices we make.  

Sunray,

Yes Sir, no worries on my end, either, just acknowledging everyone's points and explaining my (often-flawed) point of view

I'd say I'll keep posting 'eye-candy' pics, but I think we're about at the end of the line, nothing left to do but to actually play some games!

I'm still trying to figure out what echelon game I'm going to play (brigade+ or battalion+), and what rules I'm going to use (BKC is in the running).

V/R,
Jack

FSN,

Sounds good to me.  I find myself regularly making temperate, desert, and winter forces though, to date, no winter force has actually seen the table 

S'pose I'll have to remedy that one of these days!

V/R,
Jack

Listen to the man - "nothing left to do but play some games"    To misquote Churchill "This is not the beginning of the end- its the end of the beginning"-  Yes Jack- battle reps and link to site when you begin to role the dice.  We- the Pendraken Army Council -  expect nothing less.

I'll do what I can!

All,

Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by!  Can't claim that this project is finished, don't know that my 6mm WWII project will ever be finished.  Hell, I know it won't, but that's okay, because it's a journey, and I've got two forces that are plenty big enough to play plenty of games with, I just keep adding more. And that's what this is; while someday I hope to get to collecting forces for early Barbarossa and North Africa, I've been working on NW Europe, both summer and winter for awhile, and I'm here to show you some recently completed troops for those.


Here's what I just finished, both German and Allies for winter (left), summer (center/right), and even some terrain.


The dreaded 88s, and some Baccus Nebelwerfers.


Wolverines, Hellcats, AA halftracks, and a British 17-pounder ATG.


The chateaus.  No works of art on my part, but good enough for my humble table.

Thanks again for stopping by, can't wait to start fighting with these little guys.

Nice Jack

Those look damn fine, Jack ! 

Cheers - Phil

Thank you, gentlemen.

Jack

jack - those guns you listed as 17 pdr are US 3" I suspect, the angled shield being the give away.

Ian,

Now that is interesting, and funny!  I do believe you are correct, Sir! I wonder if I ordered the wrong item, or was delivered the wrong item? No I don't, I'm sure I screwed it up!  No matter, they will see service as Allied ATGs between 57mm and 85mm

V/R,
Jack
