Superb painting  :-*

I believe though curly barbed wire was more a WW2 thing.

By 1918 there were usually two Lewis guns in the Lewis gun section. The other specialist sections were:-

Riflemen
Assault (armed with grenades for close assault)
Rifle grenades (4 NR plus loader)

Thanks for the info mate, however, the section is formulated for the rules, as opposed to historical accuracy

The Third Battle of Ypres, also known as the Battle of Passchendaele. The battle took place on the Western Front, from July to November 1917, for control of the ridges south and east of the Belgian city of Ypres in West Flanders.

The Battle of Amiens, was the opening phase of the Allied offensive which began on 8 August 1918. Later known as the Hundred Days Offensive, which ultimately led to the end of the First World War. Allied forces advanced over 11 kilometres on the first day.

These are really nice; the tank is particularly striking with its staining.  Are the minis Great War?

Yet another great looking period you have painted.
Love the figures and the tank.
May I ask about terrain. What have you planned?
What ever it is I am sure it will be outstanding.

Vive la France!! 1917 WWI French Groupe de Combat, led by Corporal Henri du Leconte. These grubby little Frenchcies are truly trench war veterans, holding the line for many months without relief
