I’ve recently finished painting these bolt action British airborne

Added a 57mm A/T gun, a 75mm pack howitzer, sniper team, and some extra riflemen to my force

Got from a guy from the club a double sided neopren battlemap for cheap. Wife at the barber shop so enough time for a game against… General Mouser!

My solo rules: kill points, Airborne starts on the map in defence position, FJ comes in at turn 1. Airborne can fire to closest/best scoring units like an attacking AR squad, ambush, rally, down (for both sides i forgot mostly going down). One time i advanced an US unit to bring it in better position. Tanks from reserve in turn 2. no outflanking, no snap.

Forces was all my FJ and US, except flame throwers, no lists just all on the board, 15 OD vet FJ against 18 OD regular Airborne, guess both sides near 1400 pts.

To my surprise it feels like a „real“ game, not a walk in the park for my FJ. StuG and 251/1 not survived turn 2, than the Sherman 75 goes anti-infantry. Ends in a draw 4vs4 order dice.

Well, I did a few test models, and good news historical fans! My wife thinks it would work better on something more fantastical.

So, going to be whipping out the German Field Grey and going traditional!

Thanks for all the comments from my other post!

They won’t be green likes this when they are done. I just need to finish the hanomag before I can start detailing them

Hi, I recently brought the british airborne starter army, and I'm not sure how to build it into a roughly 1000 point force and would like some help. I've been trying to use easy army but I'm not sure what platoon type british airborne falls under. Again any help would be wonderful thanks!

Looking for any recs on where to source another 5-10 US Army field cap heads (pictured). Trying to build out my mechanic/admin squads (Rear D squads) to finish out my light assault gun company. I like the caps to differentiate them from my line squads.

Thus far I've been unsuccessful in finding an stl, or bit source short of buying entire kits for 1-2 bits.

Hello there! Does anybody got some Sten gun's to spare from the British airborne kit? Polish berets and some of those pointing fingers would be useful too!

Located in Germany, but would pay for international shipping (as well as the bits ofc)

Thanks!

Hey all,

Is the ability to not worry about getting pinned by anything smaller than a light ATgun worth the extra cost?
