News from a wargamer with a special interest in the military history of the Balkans. It mainly covers my current reading and wargaming projects.

French WW2 finished

It's April and at least one of my 2018 projects is finished - well until another 'must have' unit comes along!

Any Bolt action force needs a decent anti-tank gun and the French had probably the best at the start of WW2 with the 47mm Mle 1937. I used a Lorraine 37L as a tow. In practice, it was usually towed by a Laffly six wheeled truck. Both models are made by Mad Bob Miniatures (not an April fools joke!) and the crew are Warlord. This is the first time I have bought a model from this supplier. They are resin kits, just a few parts that went together well - recommended.




Wargamers always paint the bog standard units last, and I am no exception. A squad of infantry with LMG and VB launcher.



Finally, the whole army together.
