    Sing along to the tune of 12 Days of Christmas everyone !

    I had a bit of a clear out of my WW2 North Africa to do box recently completely emptying it would you believe (don’t worry I’ve filled it up again, I’m not ill).

    This is the fruits of my British painting, lots of pics on the blog. Have to say after an initial nervous breakdown the Portee went together nicely.

    Enjoy, Regards Ken

    Nicely done!

    I like the look of those A10s, even though they were awful tanks.

    Cheers,

    When they arrived on the table in our recent game I thought, “you know what they look good” then I looked at the stats.

    We limit our games and kit to pre Dec 1941 so they aren’t too bad.

    Anything mounting a 2pdr is scary if you are in an M11/39 or a Pz II.

    I really like those early cruisers.

    A very natural weathered look – superb. There does seem to be a growing interest in early war stuff.

    I agree Norm, I find it fascinating. Lots of relatively poor kit, too often WW2 degenerates into Tigers and Panthers everywhere. By capping our kit to Dec 41 latest it opens up some really interesting scenarios for Op Compass, Op Brevity, Op Crusader etc.

    It’s the extra special, explode on contact Flamethrower version too, how they persuaded anyone to get in one I have no idea.
