Yesteryear: I seem to be spending more time there than in the real world these days. Saturday night's swirling mist of Tetley's Best Bitter fumes revealed a vision, that takes me back again, maybe never to return!
Neil Thomas is a ruleriter who I believe was cloned from the DNA of Donald Featherstone and Charles Grant so his 'One Hour Wargames' rules are nailed on, for mi' next braynwave.
Using the book's unit stats, two units will be created, one British the other German. The units will all be Airfix models from the dawn of time, painted as we did in the sixties...
British.
One Infantry Company (British Infantry Combat Group)
Two anti-tank guns (6pdr. and carrier)
One Artillery Battery of two guns (25pdr. and Quad)
Tank Troop (Churchill and Sherman)
German.
One Infantry Company (*)
Two anti-tank guns (Stug 111 and SDKFz.234)
One Artillery Battery of two guns (88mm Gun and Tractor)
Tank Troop (Tiger and Panther)
(*) Them vintage Airfix Germans with the drainpipe bazooka thingy and that little anti-tank cannon?
That should make a nice collection of the crappest looking figures and vehicles still in existence. When they're done we'll fight all the OHW scenarios in order (there's twenty odd, I think?) and find out who really did win WW2 in yesteryear!
::)

Once upon a time I had everything on that list apart from the Churchill and the Stug
Are you going to use the 1st Ed Brits too?
-
sound interesting :-* :-* :-*
Will bring back old memories

Nice,incidentally I have a Airfix squadron of Churchill for Normandy,probably my fave tank :)

Yep, these lads. Painted just as I did 'em back in the day...

green uniforms and khaki webbing, just like their Crescent big brothers...
about as wrong a depiction of WW2 British Infantry as it's possible to get!
:-*
-
First off; where on earth did you find those? Are they carrying SLRs?
-
A few survivors from the 60s that I discovered in the bowels of the Emporium, the rest gleaned from fleabay. They look to be SLRs on the box art, but on the actual figures themselves, you can't distinguish the weapons at all... they look like matchsticks with the ends chewed into a bayonet. Their big brothers are Herald British Infantry, looks like they too went to the same dodgy arms dealer!

Here's a review of the little brethren. As the 'big 'un' I had these lads and our kid got stuck with the Germans... that kind of changed when we discovered Tiger Tanks!

-
Actually they look like M-16's
This was my second ever box of Airfix, the Germans being the first. Even at age 6 the wargamer came out in me as the Germans had Schrecks and a 28mm cannon :-*
-
Some of those rifles look like the EM-2.
-
God they are bad
Thank god they were before my time
I do vaguely remember the germans they had an anti-gun with a crewman that sat on it
-
Staying with the 'old skool' theme I've added some armoured support. The last time I built this kit was the year England won the World Cup!

Good luck with that
-
Do you have a stash of those old school vac formed terrain pieces to use with them, no table would be complete without some Bellona bits and pieces!
-
Yep, got a binbag full from the dawn of time. Might drag 'em out when the action reaches the table, I'm thinking they'd kind of fit with OHW's minimalist terrain needs.
Got some of them model railway ancient oaks too!

What's the best Vallejo yellow base coat (I'll be brush painting it on) for German tanks in Normandy please?
::)
-
Some of those rifles look like the EM-2.
That's what I've always thought.
-
I had many games with those awful figures, but I think the only vehicle I built was the Sherman, which I later fielded alongside half a dozen Minitank M4s. I knew no shame in those days. Rules were from Terry Wise’s book, when I bothered with any.
Other vehicles, incidentally, were Airfix’s polythene toys. I had several M113’s, though I doubt I knew that at the time. I can, however, now defend this on the grounds that I saw some in an Italian English language film set around El Alamein, and believed what I saw.
-
A pal of mine is still ferrying his Russians (Lend-Lease) around in Airfix's polythene American truck. Got three tips for painting German tackle...
Green Ochre
Dark Yellow
Middle Stone
I'll do a little test and see which I like best, might even use all three, as I seem to recall Dunkelgelb did vary a bit?
???
-
I seem to recall Dunkelgelb did vary a bit?
It did indeed, late war DG was generally rather lighter in tone than the original:
-
I’m now reminded of Charles Grant’s WWII rules, which many regard as a classic, and some still use. Based on my reading of them I find this remarkable, particularly in view of some atrociously garbled text, which somehow remained intact in later printings such as mine.
More pertinently to the present discussion, however, I recall that Mr Grant’s Russian - or, as he termed them, Muscovite - troops boasted such anomalies as Hanomags - presumably captured - and, less explicably, bazookas.
None of the above comments, save those relating to textual corruption for which the author himself was blameless, are meant to appear judgemental. While the rules themselves did not appeal to me, the only fair comment about them is that they were of their time, with all that implies.

Splendid. Are these sons of the Motherland as they were in days of yore? I regret to say my own troops of all nations barely received only token efforts at painting, if any, with the Russians for some reason being among the least favoured, in spite of being quite decent figures to my eye. I particularly liked the machine gun and two part gunner. I think there was also a mortar and crew. Neither were included in the British or German sets, though the 8th Army had a crude Vickers and odd little gunner.
-
Well done on the Churchill Harry. My last (so far only) attempt was similar time frame to yours.
As a callow youth I firmly believed what Airfix told me. To wit 'To ensure that the tracks will rotate
do not glue into place the bogies'. It was a task akin to balancing a row of peas on one knife,
while trying to line up another knife on top. Needless to say I failed. There are probably still
missing bogies in that house's carpet.
And guess what, a friend (also of LAF) recently gifted me a tank kit... A Churchill !!!!!!!!
-
Just finished the Airfix Tiger I, it's an awful looking model. Thing is though, it's so basic it kind of looks very sinister, in a way more modern kits don't.
???
-
Interesting point re the Tiger model, which could be developed further. To evoke its psychological impact, for example, all German tanks, at least on initial appearance, might be represented by Tigers. Allied troops encountering them would have to undergo a test of nerve before the real identity of the vehicle were revealed.
-
That's an excellent idea, every time Allied tankies saw a German tank, it was a Tiger. Hindsight tells us that most of the big cats broke down miles away from the action.
:)
-
all German tanks, at least on initial appearance, might be represented by Tigers.
I did use that trick to good effect in a WW2 (Eastern front) game.
I made sure that the German players could (accidentally) see the
box of Russian reserves (Full of KV1s & T34s). I then kept mentioning
things they could hear from off table, such as, 'Loud clanking of tanks'
Their morale was shot long before I brought on two crappy obsolete
light tanks. Two of the Nazi's finest had already started abandoning
their defensive positions, ready to avoid the end of game rout.
-
Here's a piccy of HQ Troop 51st (Leeds Rifles) Royal Tank Regiment.
I wonder if Sergeant Donald Featherstone is among them?

'Yesteryear' project is coming along nicely, all the British Infantry are now based and finished...
disaster has struck with the Germans though!
There's a bunch of 'em in light grey plastic that are very bendy with a lot of flash to clean off. Another bunch in dark grey who are flash free and much more solid. Being bone idle these are the lads I selected, and away we went, to catastrophe. The 'hard' Germans are disintegrating under the brush, heads dropping off, torsos snapping in half, a couple have crumbled away to dust like Drac does on a summer's day!
Good job I have a decent reserve of 'bendy' Germans...
weird though, the effects of age on plastic, innit?
:'(
-
Harry, are you still looking for British artillery crewmen?
I have found mine. Let me know if you still want any.
-
These lads are proper 'yesteryear' (not my current crop of re-enactors!) and will be joining the project soonest. Somewhere in that pile is a mounted Russian General, cabbaged from Airfix's Wagon train set, he needs a standard bearer for the Motherland!
Does anyone make a set of 20mm WW2 Russian patriotic flags?
(https://forum.treefrogtreasures.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=272170&d=1613438518)

Harry, it just red with a star, hammer & sickle. You could do that.
If you find that difficult, furl/fold the flag so the detail doesn't show.
Then it is ...just red.

When we were kids the bloke at the back was always the gun commander because of his stick. We thought he was Sergeant Major Saab from 'It Ain't Half Hot Mum'.

I still remember one of the early wargames books, (possibly by Featherstone) had a WW2 game with such a Pz-Faust team. They
fired from ambush at the allied column. They spent most of the game
legging it back to German lines. There they were awarded Iron crosses
(2nd Class). It was the first time I had come across the idea of medals
for my little (then plastic) heroes. Happy days indeed.
-
This is a great project and brings back memories of hard fought battles fought on the living room floor (and cleaned p before dinner). I had Germans back in the 70's. They were allocated to me by a pair of English brothers who's dad served in the Gurkha Regiment during The War. Airfix Panthers were the bane of my wargaming life back then with all those wheels and easy to break suspension things.
-
My local library had several books on 1/76-72 scale AFV modellingback in the day. One was the Airfix Magazine guide on tanks and AFV modelling. I did the conversion on that old Airfix Panther from a 'G' model to an 'A' model. I cheated and used the Matchbox Panther gun barrel instead of modifying the JS III weapon.
Oh, and the Stug III into a Stug IV using your now defunct barrel from the Airfix Panther.
Ooh look! The Schreck and Faust figures from the old Airfix Germans!
-

Do try to keep up, there's a good chap. It was in Charles Grant's 'Battle!', a small skirmish called 'Action at Twin Farms'.
:-*

Well corrected Harry.
Two things go when you get to my age, memory and.....
I forget the other.
Have the artillery crew arrived, or are they AWOL ?
-
I'm the same, no problem remembering stuff from fifty year ago, ask me at 3.30 who won the 2.15 at Kempton and I'm stumped. Just heard the letterbox go so I'm off for a recce...

-
Talking of gun crews the 88mm flak is nearly finished. We're talking the wacky world of 60s Airfix remember, so it came without a crew to shoot it. Wot we did back in the day was cabbage a few bods from the German Infantry set. I've stayed with tradition and done the same...
producing the worst looking, but accurate, rendering of 'yesteryear' so far!

When somebody slags their own work it always sounds as though they're fishing for compliments. Sadly, with this shower I've hooked an old jackboot!
The gun crew is from the first German Infantry set.The gunners standing with shells are pruned panzerfaust blokes, the kneeling ones and the one sitting on the gun are crewman for that strange little cannon type contraption.
I've got a bit of a downer on my 'yesteryear' project tonight. While Herself watched Emmerdale Street and Bellenders, work proceeded on the Airfix Panther. The intervening fifty years since I last built one have not made getting those elastic bands on any easier. I wrestled with one of the bastards for half an hour, till it went twang and flew away. I spent another hour wresting/ranting at the carpet monster to give it me back. I was just dragging the sideboard out when Herself hoved into view and said...
"Wot's that 'anging off the light shade dear?"
>:(
-
Harry! Trying to get the Panther tracks to fit, is the road to madness!
Aged 11 when I last tried it, all it did was pull the drive wheels askew.
It was years before I found out that on the real tank the tracks sagged.
IF i was to try it now I would:-
Glue the track to the upper side of the road wheels (using some scraps
of card to hold the 'sag' in place until it all set solid.
Then mount the tank on a base, putting filler around the bottom of
the road wheels, so that it looked like it was ploughing through the mud.
A few flock bushes would aid the illusion.
Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing the 'at attention' gun
crewmen redeployed.
-
Initial plan for the Panther was to drill a hole through the hull above the road wheels. After the tracks had been seamlessly slipped into place, a suitably pruned 15mm wire spear was to have been inserted through the hull, hey presto... perfect track sag!
I've settled for just getting the fookers on and by the time I've done the base the bleedin' thing will look like a great bush with a telephone pole sticking out of the front. I know Panthers never served in the jungle, but this one will. Then again they never served in the desert like in the kit's artwork. I'm thinking of suing Airfix for PTSD!
;D >:( ;D

The tractor for the 88 is done, it's been the most fun to build, as in the finest traditions of 'yesteryear' it was an absolute bastard and I wound up with two wheels left over when I'd done.
Now for the really sad bit, the ultimate vehicle needed is the Sdkfz 234. There's a shop on the seafront, with a sun bleached box that's been standing in the window, for over three years. When it re-opens on April 12th I shall be purchasing an Airfix HO-OO eight wheeled armoured car...
from the toyshop!

Treasured memories, first Airfix kits in them plastic bags, bought in Sheffield's Castle Market for 1/9d by our Nan. The following Saturday she was poorly so couldn't take us to town, but gave me and our kid 1/9d each to get two more. Got to the market, horror of horrors, they'd gone up to 1 and 11!
We walked home, using us bus fare to get a Stug and a Sherman.

1/9d left 3d, which often went on a Lucky Bag. A toy AND some sweets,
neither of any good quality, but fun nun the less.

Warbases. Most excellent. This reminds me so much of when I started with this hobby. I think the earliest price I can recall was 19p for a series 1 model in the plastic bag. Holidays meant a chance to buy one or two Esci kits as most towns still had at least one model shop.

People of a certain age will really need their rose tinted glasses on for these lads... Airfix Paratroopers!
Back in the day there was a film called 'The Red Berets' starring Alan Ladd, we saw it at the fliks one Saturday afternoon, and the 'Red Devils' became our new Heroes! Trapped in a minefield our Hero blasted a way out with a Bazooka and one the day for good old Blighty.
Compared to the pygmy sized Airfix British Infantry, the Paras were proper sized men, festooned with grenades and special equipment, we loved 'em... Private Alan Ladd was there with his Bazooka and trusty loader, and the prone Tommy-Gunner was who I wanted to be when I grew up...

When I finished the German's infamous all rounder I completely forgot it came with wheels, an oversight that's now been rectified!

Mac, one more vehicle to go to actually FINISH a project!!!
Believe it or not the model shop we used to go to in the 60s is still open and run by the same family. When we can travel it'll be to Sheffield to see the Grandkids, at the same time I'll buy the final model of the 'Yesteryear Project' here...

Built this Hasegawa kit the summer of 1974, thought it was the dog's back then, compared to Airfix. Recently re-based with proper gun's crew added.
