World War 20mm – A Battlegroup Endless Project

Possibly the second to last batch of US Infantry figures that need doing…

This time a Comms Relay Team, a FAO, an MMG Team and a Bazooka Team (with a greatcoat wearing chap painted as if  he is wearing the olive Drab rain anorak occasionally seen worn in Normandy at the start of the campaign).

All by AB Figures as usual!

300 point Defence Line game using the special lists included in Battlegroup Bagration with Partisans attacking Police Regiment positions near Lvov.

Turned into quite a bloodbath for the partisans with less than a third of them surviving and huge numbers of Germans arriving as reinforcements.

But thanks to alot of pins being removed and one heroic man with a Molotov, somehow the Partisans managed to secure victory by the skin of their teeth… the 5 non-numbered chits also helping! Fun game, very quick turns, but went on for quite a while as it started very cautious. By the end, the few surviving partisans were hiding in bushes.

I do however wish all my radios worked as well as the partisan radios in calling mortar fire support… only once did they fail to get through! Now accuracy was an issue but the radios worked…

Some more ‘dipped’ US Army support weapons – .50cal HMG Team and an 81mm Mortar Team.

More US troops using my speedy dip method…

This time a Forward Headquarters, Forward Artillery Observer, MMG team, Bazooka Team and a sniper.

With the platoon already completed, this gives me a nice playablenforce while I move on the remaining figures.

Completed the last 17 figures for the AB Figures US Infantry platoon, all done using a ‘dip’ method for speed…

The full platoon…

Second squad done using the fast dip method…

Afrikakorps 8cm Mortar Team, with a later tropical look to work for Italy too…

Full squad done to test various colour options with the dip…
