  were an how much did you pay for that sdkfz7 wheel  

[Galland]

It was a trade between friends sort of.
I actually read something yesterday, about someone else that bought a Sdkfz 7 wheel on the yearly Bovington Tank Fest meeting, well it was last year I think.

There used to be a farmer somewhere near Derby (UK) who had what appeared to be a SDKFZ 251/1 C (I think) parked up in a field. Couldn't get close to look though.

I had a neighbor as a kid that had a Schwimwagen (among other military vehicles), I used to sneak around his yard and just stand and stare at it. I loved it so much, but my cheap parents didnt want to buy it for me.
He did collect amphibous vehicles primarely I belive, but had some jeeps and such as well. He also had a nasty dog I remember, wich really freaked me and my friend out, but it was worth the horror, just to be able for us to stand and hang around the Schwimwagen every now and then.

No, he he was a cheap bastard as well.

A funny thing with the pepple in our wargaming group that are involved in the WWII campaign, is that we have more Allied players than German! It seems that many where thinking something like "Oh better make some Allies, everyone else will play German".

Ah well, we will win on good looking panzers and smart uniforms.

...and on even smarter secret weapons...

Disappointing, Michi.  I was expecting to see some scantily clad Falschmirjaegerettes stepping out of that flying saucer.

Great painting, Galland. That Marder is my favourite, it looks like it's been through a lot.

Thank you, coming from you makes it even better. My idea with the Marder is that it have gone through a lot of combat, during several operations, and somehow survived and will now be used in the later stages of the pre-ardennes fighting. I really want my Marder crews and vehicles to look like they are reall frontschweine.
I want a good mix of eastern front veterans and some second line infantry, even voulenteers like Blitzmädeln and Hilferins and perhaps some mechanics. I do have some sort of plan for my forces hehe.


Oh Michi, that is awsome! Hehe, I got to introduce some "secret wapons" to the allied players, I mean, its not like they dont really dislike my Köningstigers and whatnots as it is!

Thanks for the suggestion, but please remove the Swastika, due to the forum rules, wich are under the laws of Germany. I am aware of the fact that it might seem odd and perhaps silly, but laws are laws, and we have to respect this, its a german forum. I will report it to a moderator, not because I didnt like your post, but due to the rules, we dont want this thread locked and we dont want the owner of the forum to get any trouble.
