20mm Germans

Working on some additional Germans for WW2. 

And some Russians. 

20mm Eastern Front Supports

I finished painting some Soviet AT guns and a few German supports. The Zis 2/3 guns are Plastic Soldier Co. The German tanks and vehicles are Britiania while the Maultier (Mule) is an old Milicast I had laying around. 

20mm British Paras, Red Devils

Well... Finally finished my British Paras for Chain of Command or Bolt Action. 

I count 115 total. These are all metal 20mm from various manufacturers. 

Happy with them and now ready for some campaigns with "At the Sharp End"!

Russian Front Chain of Command

Some pics from this weekend's CoC game.  A trial run before we play a full campaign. 

Ty gamed with his newly finished 20mm Russians. 

Chain of Command

We played a couple of CoC games this weekend. I really enjoyed them. The first one on Friday night was won by the Japanese. Unfortunately I didn't get any photos of that one. The next game was on Saturday with a regular Getman force taking on a veteran U.S. Airborne unit. 

On the Germans second phase they rolled double sixes. They fired on the Americans MMG and really damaged the unit. Then since they had the next phase they properly finished it off. This severely hurt the U. S. side. It was a cat and mouse game with both sides only deploying 2 squads each. The German right was bogged down with a U.S. squad in heavy cover and plenty of smoke. They deployed 3rd squad and tried the center just as the U.S. was doing the same. Lots of shooting ensued with both sides losing men. Finally the Americans boldly charged in the center with their 3rd squad. It was costly. Both squads were wiped out all except the German senior leader. The last push by the Americans on their right side was halted in its tracks when the Germans tactfully used a "Chain of Command" die to move one of their jump-off points. They then deployed their reserve squad and opened up on the U.S. squad. This  pinned the American squad. They broke on the next fire phase. With the American right fading and the center completely wiped out it was time to call it a day. Their morale was at zero so game over. Great game. I took a couple of photos but not many. 

Landing Craft

Finally had time to assemble and prime my 20mm landing craft. Also readied a few tanks and a Japanese truck. The landing craft are all from Frontline Wargaming. They are resin. I love the waterline version of the LVT's. The Japanese truck and two tanks are from them as well. The Stuart tank is from Britannia while the Valentine (for Malaya stuff) is unknown metal (I am guessing either Skytrex or SHQ). 

I am excited to get these done along with the Marines.  

I will post more as I complete these. 

Marines Done

Ok as said I am posting a finished photo of my first round of 20mm Marines. Ready for the fight. 

First Wave of Marines...

Well I spray coated the first completed batch of U.S. Marines tonight. Here's a final pic prior to basing them. 

I will post a couple of better ones after they are based. I'm really pleased with the results even with a speed paint method. 

Merry Christmas to All...

Lookie what my beloved got me for Chistmas today!  7 LVT's plus a couple of landing craft, two Japanese tanks and a truck. Thank you Bear! 

Cole got a pile of modern stuff from Mojo, Stan Johanson and Empress Minis. 

Ty also got some cool stuff...

And Cole painted a figure for him. I thought it came out splendid. 

We will be busy for quite awhile with everything!  

Japanese Troops Completed

Here is a few pictures of my first phase of Pacific WW2 figures completed. They are a mixture of metal manufacturers. All are 20mm scale. 

In all there is 96 completed figures all based for either Bolt Action or Chain of Command. I have more support choices to paint up and hope to come back to then next year. Now it's off to ready about 100 U. S. Marines 😃
