Back to WWII, I miss 'vanilla' Crossfire so I'm painting up a company of British and a company of Germans. Usual disregard for history applies.
Here's the completed British minus some anti-tank elements (I've run out of bases).

The British tank.

Half the Germans with their tank.

The rest of the Germans are on the painting table.

Very good.

Makes me want to paint some WWII figures now.

Matakishi,

I based a set of WW2 figs on round bases also, but these are 20s, and I think they look good and fit terrain well. What prompted you to do this with your 28s here?

I use round bases exclusively now unless miniatures need to rank up. Some things like guns get rectangular bases too if needed.

Well, I'm done except for a pair of guns that I'm currently working on.

Full British

Full Germans

Pretty much done.
Here are the last additions, two anti-tank guns, some sandbags and a pillbox.

Here's my latest painting update.

I've decided not to use diecast tanks so I've ordered a couple of 3D printed ones off eBay. If they're ok they'll be added to the mix.

Paul
Just pinged you a mail with a suggestion of paint and glue for 3D printed 28mm early war tanks.

Nicely done Paul. Good work on the opposing forces.

Good stuff Paul

Back to wargaming basics! WW2 British infantry platoon vs German infantry platoon. Plus a little support on either side.
What’s not to like?

Yes, it's all very nostalgic, harkening back to the days when I bought 1/32 scale Airfix soldiers and read Commando comics. It's because I'm getting too old I think.
Anyway, here are the two 3D printed tanks I bought. I'm very happy with them. More are on the way.

I've ordered some Americans too.
