10mm Pendraken WW1 British for Nik

The Germans need opposition. Nik being too busy with real life asked me to paint his WW1 forces.

The British, Old Contemptables, ready for action. Mostly painted while I was running a competition at Boards and Swords hobbies this weekend!

First unit with machine gun


The thin khaki line


It really is impressive how well British uniform blends in


Hopefully I've done them justice


There is a lot less British infantry than German units


But then the mad minute would even that out


Plus they have friends, only two per battalion


Still enough to make the enemy think


Two cavalry units with Machine guns in support


Player's view


British gun line


BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


Something atmospheric about this one

Yes, there is a red cap in there

Blizkeig Commander IV - Hasty Assault

Mark and Stephen took my British at 1750 points, with effectively the same lists as before, but with two turns of preprogrammed artillery and a turn of smoke to assault my 1100 points of Germans who were in dugouts and gunpits. I chose to defend the four hills near my baseline. I has three HMGs, three mortars, two command teams and six infantry platoons, with two PAK36s teams. PAK36s and mortars on the back hill, two infantry and an HMG on the front. Infantry and Mortars in the left hill as a flank guard British stalled, turn 1 they failed to reach the table, so it took them at least four turns to advance. Artillery had landed on the right-hand hill, and rear hill, but had failed to kill anything, even with two 8 gun batteries of 25lbers . My ambush was sprung out the thicket. British infantry advancing developed an unfortunate habit of getting hit by mortars and HMGs. The British in turn 6 cleared the central hill with armour, but needed to get at least three infantry stand...
