Title: Uses for peter pig 15mm british having a brew,
Post by: carlos13th on November 11, 2014, 05:28:59 AM

I ordered some tank commanders and stowage from peter pig last week and decided that I had to pick up the the british having a brew. Problem is I'm not really sure what to do with them. Any tips?

I am painting and modelling the british primarily for flames of war as that seems to be what is played in my area. But I want to try to sneak in the tea drinking british wherever I can. Any suggestions? The more inventive the better.

Drat, my knowledge of the era is too small to give any useful tips, but I am rather curious what some of the people on this forum can come up with.  ::)

The British squaddie was famous for getting 'a brew on' at any opportunity, so lots of opportunites eg O groups, RA OP teams,  gun crew, etc.

Might cut one in half and have him sticking out of a tank.

Yeah objective marker would work too.

That's what I did... a FoW objective marker/command group based on a large FoW base...
