Title: Parachute Regt and 101 Airborne
Post by: 6milPhil on January 18, 2011, 10:19:43 PM

Couple of new posts on my blog, well the first there now, the second a minute after midnight as I've been playing with the "schedule" function again.

28mm Horsa Assault Group... a Tetrach, tons of figures and a well priced option on a horsa.

I'm always pleased to see airlanding units and a Horsa.  :)

PS: You had me fooled with the Horsa.... it wasn't til I read your blog that I realised the scale difference!

Glad you're enjoying it chaps.

On the scale front we decided to try it having first tried it with a 1/72 biplane for VBCW... it verges on the cartoony but covers the gaming bases- it works, it looks right, it's cheap* and there's an enormous range of craft available in that scale which either don't exist in 1/48th or are prohibitively expensive.


*This saving must be spent on lead immediately of course.
