UK Commando and Italian Troops

 Finished some UK Commando and Italian troops.  I already have a bunch of British special forces, SAS/SBS types, and German Para and Brandenburger type troops.  These will all be used for battles on Rhodes and Leros and other islands in the Aegean Sea.   Not a lot written about the British Offensive and German counter-offensive but one good book is "Churchill's Folly" by Anthony Rogers.

USA WWII Heavy Weapons

 Worked on some USA machine gun and mortar troops.  Figs are Battlehonors 25's.  I sure could do with a game of FUBAR!  the troops are ready to go.

Cornfields

In anticipation of non-remote wargaming, I'm working on some terrain features for the tabletop.  These two shots show fences I made along with a cornfield.  The corn stalks are 2"  O scale corn stalks are from JTT, trimmed just a little bit and pushed into drill holes in MDF.  The JTT stalks are priced around $12 for either 28 or 32 (can't remember) so that's not too bad.  Minis are 28mm for scale.

King's German Legion 2nd Light Battalion

 Finished up the 2nd Light Battalion KGL.  Pretty much the same as the 1st Light, though sources said they had darker uniforms so I did that.  Not sure how well that shows in the photos.  Sources also identified other minor uniform differences between the 1st and 2nd Light but as I'm using the same sculpts I didn't make those distinctions.
