Many thanks for your nice remarks.
Figures are all plastic, as I worked out, if I bought these in metal, they would cost me an arm and a leg.
Figures are Hat and a couple of Zvezda

That’s because I’ve spent a lot of time doing head swaps on the figures.
I wasn’t happy having the figures all looking the same.

Just dug out some German para support items that had been lying around for some time.
Took to opportunity to base them up and paint them for the next game.
Mortars, HMG, aa gun, anti tank rifles, and different assorted drop containers and crew.

All metal, and collected over the years from different manufacturers, including Britannia.

Crete ? Did someone say Crete ?
This is what happens when you hear a mate say he’d like to wargame Crete.

So I dug out my big box of 20mm German paras, based them and undercoated them, then the marvelous Pete Smith (has.been) said he was happy to paint a few. What a great job he did.

Here’s his handiwork.
