British Armoured Squadron and Support

Ok because I said I would here is my amoured squadron and support. (less the AA tanks and the comets, and the churchills…)

What we have there in total is

HQ:
2x Cromwell iv, 2x Cromwell vi (CS)
Combat Platoons (x3):
3x Cromwell iv, 1x Sherman vc (Firefly)
Weapons Platoons:
3x Stuart v
6x Universal Carriers
Support Platoons :
2x Motor Platoon (4x M5 Halftrack, 3x MG team, 1x Command MG team, 1x PIAT team, 1x Light Mortar team)
1x Armoured Car Platoon (2x Daimler Armoured Car, 2x Daimler Dingo)

In effect there are a few more infantry stands but it seemed wrong to leave them out.

Fallschirmjaeger Splinter Pattern Jump Smocks

Ok so here is some pictures of my latest variation on painting splinter pattern jump smocks. They’re not great photos and the slightly glossy varnish on the older fig’s really doesn’t make them look good, but hopefully you can see the difference in wht I think works out to be a far better final product.

FJ Progress

Well done Martin for keeping the site ticking over. I’m so ashamed.

I have not been idle though and have now finished painting (though not basing) my third FJ platoon. Thats 39 FJ dudes all painted and ready to be glued to bases. However I’m now wondering whether I should ….

a) Paint up three Flame Throwers and sub them onto three of the stands and call it a pioneer platoon. Is it worthwhile? Are Flamethrowers all that useful? I can’t even remember the rules for them and I’ve never used them before.

b) With your (Martin) explanation as to why FJ have been robbed of their STG44 stands perhaps I should be painting these up and mixing them into the platoon as well. So instead of having a 9 stands of Rifle/MG’s and 6 stands of STG44’s I could have 14 stands of Rifle/MG/STG44 (albeit counting as Rifle/MG teams) which with the three guys I’d reclaim from sub’ing in the Flamethrowers would give me 2/3 strength 4th platoon with command.

Thoughts?
