2026

So for Christmas My wife saw this game and thought I would like this to play with my grand children. So after a couple of games my grandson suggested that could we paint the figures in the game. so once again a small board game project has begun. So figures washed and left to dry then an undercoat to be applied.

So finally got round to doing some more work on this, been a busy month February gave the tanks abit of camo and then a bit of weathering, undercoated the kit based crew and did a simple paint job on them

So after a bit of info gathering I decided on a few vehicles that capture the made up nature of this division and the brain behind these vehicles which were largely captured French vehicles then engineered/adapted for the field by an German officer Alfred Becker at Baukommando Becker (Construction Unit Becker). So browsed the old web and decided on these 3d printed models. So my unit will include from right to left…

3 x Hotchkiss H39 based GW H39 7.5 cm Pak 40 ( for anti tank punch),

3 x Unic P107 half track ( Transport)

1  Reihenwerfer  mounted on a Somua mcl tractor ( multi tube mortar)

So washed left to dry and then undercoated with army painter Desert yellow

So basic camo applied using my trusted Ak colour pens once again.

When purchased they came with no crew so out came the bits box and made my own still might for the three Hotchkiss H39 based GW H39 7.5 cm Pak 40 and then undercoated. I might change the heads on three off them to the field cap has these would of been worn due to a radio headset so back to the bits box.

Oh yes just thought i would throw this in here…got side tracked and for some reason I started painting  up a platoon of British Infantry with hard as nails platoon Sergeant, just like Stanley Hollis, then washed and based ???…a who knows why…like Big Gerry says “I can and you cant stop me!”
