Dik at Leighton Buzzard had asked for a game of BKC IV, in 10mm. He has an immacualtely painted and huge collection of WW2 centered around mid to late War Germams, , plus ALL the Tigger that were in Tunisia. Thankfully, he did not need those, and only put out Panzer IVs and IIIs, with a bucketload of infantry with a decent amount of support weapons. I took Antrobus and his boys of the 139th Light Heavy Borcester Infantry; this time upgraded to veterans (as we were now in 1943, not their usual 1941). The six Mk13s were retired for this game, and the new Valentines ame out for the first time. Yup, it's my desert terrain, again! I know Tunisia is meant to be greener, but it was my grab box.

So, this time I put together a TA (Territorial Army) company, leaving their transports behind. Less morale, but more stuff on table. They were supported by an anti-tank platoon, brigade level mortar platoon, an AA stand, and a Lynx AH-1 attack helicopter. 600 points (or just under). My figures are Pendraken apart from the Lynx which is The Dorset Print Man The Germans brought a company of T-55Ms , a platoon of infantry in BMPs, artillery, a Shilka AA tank and not much else for 1200 points! But they were higher morale than the British Territorials. Nick figures are Plastic Soldier 3d prints. Initial British deployment. Lining a wood edg...

Both together I was inspired by having booked a game of 'Sabresquadron this Wednesday, so A scimitar and two more landies Because we all know the fun kit is carried in Landies Second scimitar just needs finishing, but gives me a bit of variety British tech, what's not to love (going all Pub Landlord here) Oh, and some non-Pendraken product: Two Lynxes by Dorset Print Man, who very kindly recaled to 1:150 for me https://www.thedorsetprintman.com/ very happy with these Rotor clash? 1980s colour scheme - how I remember them flying over my school Anyone el...
