BHGS Oxford Pairs

by DaBoss on Tue Oct 27, 2015 3:35 pm
After having a few problems getting a partner to join me at the Tournament, I paired up with Neil Moulden taking Natchjager British Tank Company with Cromwells and Challengers.
Myself taking my trusted KG Von Swoboda force, consisting of:
2 Platoons of 4 Flak36 guns (with extra crew)
1 Platoon of 6 Flak43 guns 3.7cm
1 Platoon of 8 Flak38 guns 2cm
1 Platoon of Hummel Tigers
2 Platoons of SS Artillery Batteries (3)
Artillery Warrior Hans-Georg Sonnenstuhl (who allows me to combine artillery batteries and get US ‘Time on Target’ rules).

Plan being where half on half off, I'd Kampfgroup an 8th platoon, placing the big Kampfgroup of AA guns (12 strong), both artillery and the Tigers on table. Does mean my reserves are quite fragile and not really objective grabbers.

Game 1 – Laurence with US 4th Armoured Division in Pincer
US force consisted of:
HQ of CinC Easy Eight & 2id Jumbo Sherman
2 x Combat of a Jumbo, two Easy Eights and a standard Sherman
1 x Sherman 105 tanks (6)
2 x Recce Plato...

Panzerzug is back on track ...

by Spack on Tue Aug 07, 2012 7:12 am
With a chassis for the train on it's way from eBay, the Panzerzug project will be moving again later this week. I've just noticed that I didn't post a pic of the Tiger card tank, it's still not complete but here's one with the Jagdpanther and a 1/72 Spitfire for scale.

Easy Co. Update - 30th July 2013

by Cain Tiberius on Tue Jul 30, 2013 9:30 pm
Update time.

So with the addition of some plastic US infantry (painted as Airborne) that I bought from Tadhg, a 30.cal LMG team and a 50.cal HMG team, I've basically doubled my force.

Having a better idea of the rules now, I realise the LMGs have to be part of an infantry squad. And squads have to be at least 6 men. So the previously posted 2x 5 man infantry squads and 2 man LMG team, are now a 6 man squad with 5 rifles and 1 SMG. And another 6 man squad with LMG, Loader and 4 Rifles. They can be played separate like that or combined to make a single squad.

I initially intended to do a single reinforced platoon. But I've decided to have 2 Lieutenants. So the previous Lieutenant I promoted to Captain. The 1st Sergeant I promoted to 1Lt and I painted one of the plastic figures as a 2Lt. This will allow me to field more of the back up units.

SPACE:1959 part 2 More buildings

by estarriol on Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:08 am
2 more buildings constructed, these things are addictive!

Firstly my second 28mm Compound. Again the Brig and some Treen are giving it the once over. For scale the mdf base is 300mm x 300mm.

Next up is the second building, another Afghan style compound but this time in 6mm. Again for reference the base is 70mm x 70mm. This was made by simply chopping some old bits of a chipboard shelf into the right heights then adding card surrounds for the lips of the roof. Makes them solid and pretty quick to knock, the hardest thing being cutting out the windows/doors!.

Finally arrived

by Jay on Sun Jan 20, 2013 3:46 pm
The heads got here even with the calamities of snow, I knocked together some mock ups, these won't be the final torso but gives you an idea of scale and detail. Apologies for the poor pictures, the Iphone is no comparison to an DSLR but that's off limits :(

The 'beak' holes are for tubing that will be added later. The third picture is the covered variant. For the purpose of explantion, the first two pictures are using the maxmini combat torso and legs, the third is a cadian torso with FW renegade arms.
