I'm doing the markings.
If someone can redirect me on a link which explain the tactical markings...
Mainly how does the numbers work.

I used Google+ on the second attempt, I think it's linked with Picasa.

The answer is a QI ? - it varies between units, and is not an army standard. It may not even be logical across a brigade.

This is the book you need. Unfortunately now rather expensive - in 1983 it was just £7.95.

When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

I had resolved myself to use Light Americans Tank, but fortunately, T-60's arose.

The only leased material in my Soviet force is a White scout car.

Got copies of Zaloga's Eastern Front and Blitzkreig cammo books plus Hughes & Mann's book on the T-34 for the grand total of £5 in a charity shop earlier this year. Excellent reference books and well worth the money!!

I added a head in a drivers hatch.And the markings. And the matt varnish.
Need to redo some photos.


I've played a game of BKC II yesterday with them, they did well.

BTW, the more I play BKC II, the more I find it a clusterf*** to make decisions, to remember the various modifiers on the command rolls, and to frakking remember the rules of concealed troops, visibility in low terrain, and high terrain.

Concealed troops are seen if they fire, or move along or out of cover, or if an enemy unit comes under 10 cm for INF or 20cm if AFV. .... OKAY
Low terrain : INF sees INF under 10cm. INF sees AFV at 20cm. AFV sees INF at 20cm.....OKAY
High terrain : INF sees INF at 5cm. INF sees AFV at 5cm. AFV sees INF at 5cm. AFV sees AFV at 10cm...OKAY.

Now try to work out these rules with troops into a village (high terrain) with a field crop in front (low terrain) and the opponent in the woods (high terrain) ...MIND BLOWED.

Someone has offered to sell me a copy of BKC2 for the price of a biscuit and raisin yorkie..I have offered 2 as it seemed fairer price
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Fenton. was that 2 chunks of a Yorkie or two  whole Yorkies ?
  Lovely Job on those models, catches just the right feel.
