Post by: mattspooner on June 29, 2010, 04:55:09 PM

Supposed to represent a 'modular' infantry unit such as those deployed during the Border War.

Infantry unit (1 of 4) and transport

Couple of caveats - I have tried to use up figures that I already have and minimised the expenditure on this build. As such, there are some errroneous figures (some M16 and AK armed) among the SADF troopies. I painted them after a bottle of wine and another ODI victory over the Aussies and as such didnt check my reference material hence the wooden furniture on the FN/R1 rifles (should be black).

Have used Peter Pig Bulldogs instead of the QRF buffels for 2 reasons. 1 ) I got them cheap and 2) as nice as the QRF model is, these are so much easier to put together and handle for gaming

I have a variety dependent on what I am trying to do. B'Maso from the Too Fat Lardies is very good, Ambush Alley/Force on Force also will get used a lot. Have FNG/CR3 from Two Hour Wargames for smaller encounters and I might even use Rapid Fire for some of the larger engaements

Any chance they can get a troop of Centurion tanks in support? I've always liked the Centurion tank. It's a dead sexy beast.

I think the chance to model Centurion tanks is the only reason I'm ever tempted to do either SADF or IDF. :D
