Not that I'm aware of, the early war British list with a few tweaks is being used for this collection.

Well I finished all 36 figures just the vehicles to go now. For the sake of these photos I've organised them into two "shifts" each with an Inspector and Sergeant and a machine gun crew.
 Then there's the Heavy machine gun to support both shifts. The owner of the figures has said they will be used for the VBCW so the vehicles will have a pressed into service look and a few will have extra armour attached to them, something like the vehicles in the SCW.
I'll put some more photos up when their completed.

Thanks for commenting chaps, Paul if you didn't spend your money on figures you would only waste it on trivial things like food and family Xmas presents  lol

Beautiful work there...the best of these models I've seen painted by far.

I would think the WW1 lists, suitably adjusted for the support assets likely to be available, would do the job. The COC Espana Irregular rules will be possibly useful if you wish to reflect 'mobs' as well as more organised unit. There are lots of other ideas in there to help reflect para military style forces.

Cheers

Happy W

Well I've painted some more recruits for this force, another section of riflemen, a pack of Grenadiers.
Also some machine gun teams and some Senior Officers, I painted the chap with the arm band as a Medical Officer as that's an option with Chain of Command and Bolt Action.
