Ah hehe. Guess you already know about the S&S stuff  lol. Well, great stuff mate, nice one on the British camo, I found that stuff such a massive pain for my 20mm Brits, I really did, because the base colour is olive in colour but not quite, if you know what i mean. Nice one though! :D

On the support teams I used a spray "Ghoul Green" , "Undead flesh" or whatever silly name it's got. from Warlord as the base colour which works well I think. It's a difficult one though as any in-theatre photos vary so much depending on the light.

Yeah same problem I have had, in some photos it looks like olive drab, and in others it looks green. Very difficult one to do.

Excellent painting.
Really like your MG team.
Fine work on your S and S models.
I think your colors are very much spot on.

I'm using Akulas BAD AR:SE rules but with elements from FoF.
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/roweller/ARSE/BAD%20ARSE%20rules.pdf

I like the fast play and how you can drag anyone into the game without waving an enormous book at them... "Have you read these?"

For more complex bits, like campaign details... I use FoF but also concepts like the different dice for different quality troops.

Hmmm guess I should have put this here too:





and probably this too...




I'll have to start paying attention.

What made you choose 28 mm over 20 m?

I have some very nice Elhiem and S&S figures but am tempted by the 28 mm figs now  :-*

Thanks for the heads up on the rules.

Happy gaming,

Allan

The corrupting influence of my son the Slug. Up until about four years ago I just used 6mm. I couldn't get him interested in that scale, so he manipulated me towards 28mm... the little sod.

Can't really complain though as he's become a decent painter.

Very nice stuff, but since my gaming pals chose 20mm we'll be sticking to that scale (for modern that is)
