A few quick shots of the US 82nd Airborne job.
Some Dukit molds for making some wooden crates on the Staff team bases
The radio operator on the staff team base.
I had two ammo feeder figs left over so I converted them to battery pack men for the radio. The wire is de-ravelled guitar wire.
Artillery pieces ready for basing
LMG’s and mortar platoon.
The company command teams HQ and 2IC plus the three bazookas.
A close up of a basic quality of the paint job
Have glued some of the US airbourne to bases today.
Still playing around with arrangements on others to get the optimum field of figures and bases.
Will probably reduce some stands to three figs instead of four.. but they look fine.
Still frustrating between the army lists in “Road to Rome”(RR), “Hells Highway”(HH), Market Garden (MG), Nuts (NN)
HH has two artillery batteries in the 75mm pak howitzers but RR doesn’t
RR has 4 shermans with improvised armour but the combat platoons are reduced to 6 teams instead of 9.. and it has two command teams per platoon not one.
Problem is the US airbourne have really different options throughout the books.. subtle but massively game changing.
The HH list has no US armour.. only UK armour support from 30th Corp.
Funny thing is there is a ten points difference between the two books for the same list.
I use 82nd airbourne whenever I can .. I just think there cool and a I new someone who was all about the eagle being the best and I don’t like that.. plus the eagles were the get out of jail card
for the heros in the LOTR all the time .. so anti that! besides All American …. F$^&* yeah! lol
So if there was anything extra needed I would say… 1-2 carbine command teams. 1x60mm mortar team .. and that would allow you to make any of the following lists. Oh bazookas always help.. get some of those too.

I have made some more progress with the US airborne.
Finally finished painting all the gloves.
That’s 150 plus sets of gloves.. except the radio operators who only wear one glove.
