Just to confuse
Bikes can carry two. Sidecar combinations three...

I want to keep them as correct as possible : two places on a bike, and one in a sidecar, so a stand with 1 of each equals transport capacity for 5 men wich is equal to the number of men on an infantry stand 

I know that

If it helps, I also based my motorcycles in two's: either one regular and one with sidecar, or two with sidecar. And I did an extra two on a short base for a recce unit. And I have several on command stands as well.

I wouldn't worry too much about how many men could be carried. After all, a truck or SdKfz 251 can carry how many? Double the number of men on a base or more, I would think. I always think of transport as enough trucks/halftracks/bikes to carry the platoon. So it could be four trucks, or three halftracks, or twelve motorcycles. Doesn't really matter, as far as I'm concerned.

I guess i could just maximize the stands with what i have

Hear, hear. Let's face it, the guys are just thankful they don't have to hoof it like most of the army.

Very nice Peter, i can see a big battle coming up,

Well, my luck has it, thursday's invasion of the beaches has been cancelled in favor of a game of blood bowl CCG in the local pub, as our buddy's gaming room is still occupied with the axis and allies game he's been playing with his son 


But hey, a big pendraken order is on its way so this means i can get more stuff ready 

Keep calm and carry on man! No need to panic. Stay positive, there's a good chap.

Or just hijack their game...

HIs sons away at camp now, can't do that could we...

Yeah, just text the son that he's lost and take over. 

Just finished some stuff. Not much progress, but hey any is better than none 

First one is of the air support for both nations, second one of the german transport/ motorcycles and my first two hq's (schwimmwagen is pithead,the rest is pendraken of course!)

Excuse me for the bad lighting on picture two, but cameras dead now so can't take a new one

Look great to me Peter !!
Cheers - Phil.
