Hi,
as I said over at the SD forum, very nice. The transfers really add to the great paint job. Might get some of the 3rd Infantry one for my brits.

Good luck with the game and look out for the MG-42s.

They DID look nice (past tense) but the DIED just as easily as crappy painted figures

It was a close game and without MG42s but 4 LMGs were very useful

Yes, the 101st died a valiant...it was almost Barrys Biggest victory

The battle was lost but the war will be won! We will fight them on the beaches.....

Sounds like you're going in the wrong direction

HI,
nice thanks for the pics.

Hi Gazza,
The Tigers are the 1:56 scale from hobby master. £15 each. The come painted to a high standard. I Picked them up at Claymore.

That second picture (of the twa yanks with the bazooka) needs a sig line. It has to be "You're gonna get me killed Lieutenant!"

OK no prizes for guessing where I got it from.

Hi,
just curious. Did you use the point values for the game? Han't used it yet and I wondered what kind of match up it would give you.

Actually we didn't.

David used roughly the equivalent to an Airborne Platoon with some HMG and mortar support.
I used a full German Grenadier Platoon with an 8cm mortar but no HMG support,
The Tigers were just for show!!!!

The game lasted about 90 minutes. Casualties were heavy and in the end the Germans just managed to tip it. Opening fire in the first round was a good tactic! David was manoeuvring (the tactician in him told him to do that). I just opened up with everything straight away
