Title: Brecourt Manor Artillery Battery
Post by: SgtPerry on December 10, 2006, 01:14:26 PM
I'm working on a Brecourt Manor terrain.

The trench system (from Gauthey Miniatures (http://www.gautheyminiatures.fr/index.cfm) is completed. I now have to work on the gun emplacements, then the figures.

Nice!  What will you use for the guns?

First, I'll use the BTD Pak40 (1/48 scale so a bit oversized). But as soon as Bolt Action Miniatures will release true 105mm FH 18/40, I'll use the real guns.

BAM should release then in the first quarter of 2007.

@Dominic, I think that I saw them. Artizan Designs US Paras are really nice. I'm always amused to see that nearly everybody use the same figure from Lt Compton!

 :)


I took these pics 2 years ago with a scrachtbuilt trench system.

You can order the TFL personalities as single models as well as in a pack. I´ve got the Officer, too.

Really great pictures! You put a lot of work into that board and those games, and the pictures show it.

Great job! I hope the players had a lot of fun.

Thanks Pete! The players really enjoyed the game. They were often surprised that it was not as easy as it appeared in the HBO mini-series.

The US Paras were well trained but they were only 14 vs more than 40 germans. So you have to choose the good tactics otherwise you will be blocked, unable to advance later in the game.
