A force put together for ‘One Hour Wargames’. Scales are really 1/144, 20mm, 1/76 and 1/72 plastic and metal from different makers. Including the infamous Airfix ‘wrong’ armoured car

17/07/2017 at 22:51 #67744CameronianParticipantI built a few of them meself in days of yore. If someone else produced its predecessor at the same price, I’d have bought it. Too late now my DAK days are over.

So far the intention is to use the rules ‘as is’. However, some snags; the rules don’t support aircraft, armoured cars (and ones with A/T guns) or MGs. I’ll persist with it because I think aircraft need to be involved due to the prominent part they played in the conflict. I’ll look at how other rules cater for ‘cars and do an adaptation. The MGs are catered for in the WW1 rules so I’ll use that.
I’ve made a bit of a rod to beat my own back by sticking to actual rifle company structures, the 8th Army motor company especially with only two (at the time) rifle platoons and a scout platoon OHW four infantry units are a bit difficult.
However, onward and upward.
