Re: Help with GMB Flags

That would be greatly appreciated. Are they for 15mm or 25mm? As a favor, could you give me some quick dimensions on how big the flags are? I'm afraid they may be too big for my figures! Rob, Sorry that I didnt ask what size you are after :oops: The Flags are for 25/28 mm Dimension: backside/staff/...

Re: FOW How to Start?

Jim W., Thanks for this. It helps a lot as I allready noticed the price for the minis :shock: I will take a look at the companies you mentioned. The timeline I prefer is Kursk to Berlin (1943 to 1945) not because of the available tanks but the possibility to fight against allmost all Nations who we...

Re: Austrian Tactics

I've been thinking about Austrain tactics,more to find a starting point for collecting and painting, I know enough about organisation and uniform,but tactics :?: I know that sounds very general,as each commander would have a battle plan.

Re: FOW How to Start?

Barry,

I wanted to look at the Warchest for WWII scenarios but when I trie to open the Stolchnyek June 28 1944-Scenario I get an error message telling me the file could not be found on the server. Has it been removed?

Any chance to get a look at it?

Thanks

Re: FOW How to Start?

Jim and Bill , Thank You both for your input. I will take the advice of the MW's=Motherwell Warriors :D 15mm seems large enough. I take it that FOW is played by Armies based on pointsystem :shock: Not quite the way I like it but who knows :roll: eventually I can live with that. Thanks again. Cheers...

Re: Blueprint for my Russian division

Gunfreak,

The most usual Cavalry was the Hussars, who were attached as some kind of brigade mostly because of the huge size of them. Most of those hussar regiments had 6 to 8 squadrons each. Dragons and the others were grouped in Cavalry Divisions.

Hope that helps

Günter
