Heavy Support for WWII Minis

 Just finished some German 15cm heavy artillery along with 15cm Infantry Gun and 5cm PAK.  And some Soviet 160mm mortars.  The infantry on snow bases in the pic are Germans in greatcoats armed with Russian SMGs (courtesy Peter Pig minis).   these are all 15mm sized minis.  Thanks to Jim for printing the 15cm heavy artillery.

The little shiny objects in the corners of the bases are magnets I use to hold any status markers.  For Rapid Fire rules, they aren't really needed but I also use the stands in operational level games where a stand can be a battalion or regiment.  I usually dull down the shiny magnets with a black or brown Sharpie marker.

WWII In The Pacific

 I've recently started acquiring Allied and Japanese naval fleets for 1942 naval battles.  A friend, Rocky, has devised a set of naval rules that resolve battles in around 3 hours with simple methods of calculating firepower at range, chance to hit, and damage effects of hits and with all the various weapon effects from plunging fire, torpedoes and aircraft.

We have been using 1:2400 scale ships along with 1:900 scale aircraft.  Mostly from XP Forge, a 3D Print company. 

Here are pics of recently formed Allied fleet and IJN fleet.

The Allied fleet includes British, Dutch, Australian, and United States ships along with Buffalo fighters and British carrier based aircraft.

The IJN fleet includes battleships, cruisers, and destroyers along with twin-engined bombers and float planes.  

I'll log the detailed order of battle as a separate page off the blog.
