Title: New Chain of Command force; British Airborne
Post by: Vanth on June 21, 2018, 10:35:25 AM

I am building up a new Airborne force: here are the Patrol Markers, Jump Off Points and Wounded Leaders to begin with...

Those are awesome!  Where did you source the drop canisters?

Thanks! The canisters are Warlord Games pewter markers. I know that the force is always going to suffer a bit on the support side: they have PIATs for AT, plus a 6pdr when the situation will allow it. I have prepared some tanks too, for different scenarios, but I know I will almost always see the opponent have more support. Unless taking them regulars, as some scenarios allow

Very nice.

What are all the figures with bandaged heads for?

Wounded Leaders. In CoC they operate with reduced effectiveness, so it is useful to mark a Leader that has been wounded. Normally a chit or marker is used, but I thought that an appropriate figure looks better on the table

A nice bit of extra modelling. I’ve always just used a marker, but models are better!

Really nice - these JOP are a really clever idea.
