Freikorps Beutepanzerwagen Mk. IV
« on: December 31, 2016, 03:05:08 PM »
Eventually, I have aspirations to start heavily playing the Interwar Period as I build up forces at an almost glacial slowness. The first unit were Tsuba's excellent "Red Marines" from the German Revolution and I will likely be expanding upon that force with the newly released Spartacists. But, as I covered in my review of this Trenchworx Mk IV kit, I got an almost free heavy hitter for the Freikorps.

Fantastic.  I look forward to seeing how your Freikorps vs. Spartacists projects progresses.  Tsuba is an excellent choice to provide the "Reds."  What are you planning to use for Freikorps troops ?

I'll likely just sub my WW2 Hungarians since I used GWM WW1 Germans

I'ld be interested in seeing them side-by-side for size comparison.  I have GWM Germans too, and am considering the Tsuba Spartacists.

IIRC, they are somewhat smaller than GWM. I will try to remember to get you a scale comparison pic

I'm thinking about buying some of the Pulp Figures late WW1 Germans to use as freikorps.

Tsuba do Freikorps and I have no doubt they will be doing more, why not them?

The only Tsuba Freikorps I have seen are the Oberland Freikorps, who were a bit "atypical" given that they wore traditional Bavarian dress (lederhosen, jackets, hats with federbusch).  Think Oompah band with rifles.  Most Freikorps look like late WW 1 German troops with less equipment; most wore stahlhelms.
