Do like your Schwerer Panzerspähwagen these SdKfz 231s evidently did very well in North Africa. Seeing what is laying in the background you have a few more in the pipeline... Do keep 'em coming - look forward to seeing the Panzer III.

Thanks all :)

Smaller child has caused significant delays but I've started on the other vehicles too. I should do the infantry but they are easier to do while on conference calls  ;)

The aim is the Bolt Action Welsh Open in September

The current list is:
2nd Lt and assistant
3x 7 man Here with LMG
3x 8 man Here with SMG
AT rifle
Medium MG
Medium mortar
Horch 1a with Flak 38 20mm
SdKfz 231
Panzer IIIE

Though I'll have enough for a full CofC platoon and a good amount of support units too

Lovely work.

Given it's the desert and not many jarring changes of underlying surface, I think vehicle basing is quite sound and no heresy at all.

Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
