Empty stash...
Finally emptied the little storage compartment for Summer 44 German infantry with these last three…
…thats all the infantry I have done now for the Summer 44 Germans, so need to have a think where to go next.
Scoped trio...
One last Winter Waffen-SS sniper to add to the cold Germans…
Last 5 to finish the platoon...
Last 5 Germans done and the platoon of Summer 44 Germans is done…
Winter Yanks - Mortar and mates...
A few more bits done to add to my Winter US Army…

Next up for the ‘Summer 44’ Germans is an 8cm Granatwerfer Battery complete with Forward Observer team and two Loader Team markers for use in Battlegroup.
All by AB Figures as usual…
Roza...
AB Figures Soviet female sniper, with the scope removed from the rifle to act as either a normal scout or spotter for a.sniper.
Communications Team - #normandy2023
Next up for the project, a new Communications Team for Battlegroup using two AB Figures from their DAK range…
Back to Normandy...
Part of this year will be a revival of my Normandy stuff in a group project with some friends.
My first squad for this year is just finished- AB Germans of course!
Last game of 2022 - The Farm; Near Eindhoven, September 1944
Last game of Battlegroup for 2022… as seen from the German lines!
Red Army Flamethrowers
Two Red Army engineers with the ROKS-3 flamethrower.
Base models are by CP Models but with the heads replaced with Xan Minis heads to blend with the rest of the army.
Battlegroup Cassino - First playtest...
Some images from our first playtest last night of some trial Italian Front lists…
Truck-tastic and a sniper!
More Soviets… this time a Xan Winter Soviet converted into a sniper by adding a scope removed from an AB Figures scout! Also a repair truck using the PSC Gaz truck kit and the S&S Models resin rear body…
…after that, might go warm up somewhere…
Soviet Winter Platoon
Completed in just a week, my Red Army platoon decked out for cold weather is ready to be featured in my Küstrin scenario book.
Made using all 20mm Xan Das Minis, it’s a full platoon with an MG team and some dodgy looking Commissar types…
Battlegroup Westwall AAR
A close run 500 point BG Westwall game, US forces just managing to edge the Germans out and secure a victory…
New 20mm Red Army...
Got to paint the up a few samples from a new range of 20mm Red Army for 1941-42…
Real Estate...
Quick job on this 3d printed house by Vulcania3D/Plana Mayor.
This is the building that served as Dakota Command Post in Krinkelt during the Ardennes fighting in late 1944, but I’ve painted it up in a more generic style. It comes with a second, more ruined 2nd floor to allow it to be in various states of destruction!
Westwall... well a tiny bit of it!
Photoshoot this weekend for Battlegroup Westwall, so had to quickly bash out some scenery…
Finally... Finished the US Army 'winter' Infantry!
Finally finished the final batch of infantry from AB Figures using their new range wearing the M43 Uniform to go with their Greatcoat wearing range to give me a nice rag-tag looking bunch for late WW2 battles over the Autumn/Winter of 1944 and into 1945 to the wars end.
This new batch, with the previously finished greatcoat wearing guys, go together to form the infantry core of this army.
Vehicles next…
