These boys have been camping in my lead pile for something like five or six years now. Feels good to finally give them some paint.

The reason that I all of a sudden decided to paint those infantry was so they could act as support for my newly arrived Grants.

Really nice work.
I like the flowers on the infantry stands and the details of the tanks.
Keep up the good work !

Today I played a game against a buddy of mine using my Grant tanks.

He wanted to try out the parachute rules from the Burning Empire Flames of war book.

On the picture you can se a light mortar, a panzerbuechse, a command and two spotter teams from the artillery

These Panzer III G are painted to resemble the first panzers that arrived in North Africa during the near collapse of the Italian army because of the British counterattack.

The Germans had to scramble an stopping force to bolster the Italian positions.
The plan was to stop the British offensive and fight it to a standstill so they could concentrate on the more important and all deciding eastern front.
The newly appointed commander of this Africa force, Rommel had other plans and went on the offensive even before all of his tropes had even arrived.

These Panzers on the pictures are still wearing the panzer gray base coat and the markings for the 3rd Panzer Division that they originally were intended for.


For all of the pictures, more text and some reference pictures pleas follow this link.
