Stuka zu Fuss and Flammpanzerwagen

After a few months break I have come back to the 28mm SS Panzergrenadier project that I have been painting for Cyrus.  Here is a work in progress picture; I have base coated, modulated and got the basic camouflage on.  Next will be pin washes and then weathering.

In a divergence away from our typical two games I have been putting some time into the WWII era and have purchased some Warlord paratroopers.  The figures are excellent and nicely proportioned but if I get another figure with a grenade just leaving the hand I will cry.  It's very nice but I don't need 5 in a platoon.  Expect to find them on eBay soon.

I have painted a test figure and I'm happy with the result.  The Denison smock isn't as accurate as some might like but it works for me.

The plan is to have a full platoon of three sections each with an LMG team and an equal split of rifles and smg's.  There will be a 2" mortar and a sniper with the three sections.  Along with the Platoon HQ I also have 2 HMG's, 2 PIAT teams, a 3" mortar and a 75mm Pack Howitzer (had to make the minimum order and it seemed a good idea)

We have also plumped for Disposable Heroes as a rules set.  There are lots to choose from and it's a minefield (pun intended) to decide which is suitable.  As the idea is to play Platoon sized games these seem to fit the bill.
