US AIRBORNE

OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

Hi Guys,
I had John Wayne leading my 101st...the Longet Day or after Barry fired his LMG/HMG teams more like the longest 90 minutes. Your lucky his Guts rating was only 11! :roll:
I just used the army list Pat gave me. 8)

All Army lists should be altered accordingly:
Any US forces should have a 'Hollywood' personality as an Officer thus GUTS ratings will go up to 11+

Wayne
Mitchum
Fonda
Murphy
Eastwood
Holden
Stewart
Lancaster
Peck


German morale of course will go down and their officers need to mean, ruthless, lacking in any of the human decencies:

Anton Diffring
Max Schell
Colonel Klink from Hogan's Heroes

etc

A GUTS rating of <5 I think :wink:

The Brits don't count as they left the war in 1943 :roll:

David is correct. Ist and 2nd Lieutenant in the US Airborne are indeed Guts 11. The Staff Sergeant is 10 and the sergeant in the rifle sqaud is Guts 9. Ordinary Joes are a mere 7. Almost as good as my commandos.
