75th Anniversary of Battle of Monte Cassino and Northern Italy (Army Build)
The Forces
As much as I would like to paint everything, I need to focus on specific forces. I’ve already painted some up and I will post pictures of these first before looking at what else is needed to complete each company.
For the Battle of Monte Cassino, the Germans had in position the 1st Fallschirmjager and while there were other divisions present, it was the 1st Fall. that doggedly defended the heights of Monte Cassino during the battles. So I will base my force around the 1st Fallschirmjager.
For the Allies, several nationalities were involved in the battles but I will look to create 2nd NZ Armoured and infantry from the 4th British Indian, most likely some Gurkhas.
For the battles in Northern Italy, I will focus upon the 26th Panzer. For the Allies, I will draw from the British 8th Army and focus in on the North Irish Horse tank regiment who used the Churchill tanks while reusing the Gurkha and other British Indian troops
