Jager1815 thanks for all the infomation on the Dutch army!

I had a couple of questions if you wouldnt mind answering?

How did you rate the marines in BA? Regular with fanatics? And do you know if the marines served in any land battles in the Dutch East Indies? I cant find anything to suggest that they did but thought i would ask the question.

Hi Winder,

It might be a good idea if you have Facebook to join this group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/962339910470570/?fref=ts it's a specific group on the Dutch in WW2. there's a downloadable file there with units that can be added to your games of BA, nothing official though. also, don't forget to like my page 

Marines:

Mariniers Section

Cost: 50 points (Regular)
Team: 1 NCO and 4 Infantry
Weapons: Rifles

options:

Add up to 6 additional infantry men armed with rifles for +10 pts each
One soldier may have a light machine gun for +20 pts, 1 other soldier becomes the loader.
Storm Dolk (Storm Dagger) equipped for an additional +1 pt. per man to give them the tough fighters rule.

(Note, this selection represents the battle hardened men who have returned for redeployment from campaigns in the East Indies. The Marines who have just completed training can be best represented by the selection of regular infantry and then just apply the different uniforms colour of the Marines when modelling your force.)


I'll have to look into your question on the marines in the East. atm I'm focussing on the european theatre.

That will be some time from now I'm afraid, the only deadline I can give is the first week of November for I'll be at Crisis Antwerp. anything in between would be great.
