From DaveD - Its a Bitsa week - 66 points

Yes that is right- bitsa this and bitsa that as I clear stuff off the table to stack up the next big one.

First up 6 skirmishers for the recently completed Cameron Highlanders in the Sudan.

last of the bloody tartan for a long time! 
 6 x 28mm figures = 30 points



Next up - a battery of 152mm SP guns for playing Crush the Capitalists..

1/285th GHQ - SAU 152mm SP guns 
5 x 6mm vehicles = 10 points

Next up the headache for minion Raymondo!

This weekend MartinC ,JamesM and I have a second outing of Team Yankee - (aka to Comrade Docovich as Crush the Capitalists) and i have been doing the various Timecast 6mm buildings i picked up at York.

Large oil storage tanks , and two apartment blocks each base is 6"x 4"

4 stand alone buildings 
So here are all the buildings so far.


I picked up some extra field pieces from Timecast as well , which needed painting and flocking
New field pieces - some ploughed up or just plain largest is 4 inches by two

And another one from left field - JamesM asked me to make some hedge sections for his upcoming 15mm Normandy game - so 8 6 inch long section , with 20mmx20mm hedges - with a breached section in the middle - they are made from rubberised horsehair cut and shaped  - pva and scatter material stuck on 1/16th sheet plywood. - the Shernan may give you hint to a  future project of mine! - its not finished yet (he's got a lot of mates...)



My estimate is the terrain bits make up 1 and half terrain cubes  = 30 points?

From Ray

Top work Comrade!! On all counts!
God I hate these terrain bits!!! They're so damn hard to sort the points out for???
40 points for all the figures and....
I've added the terrain together and come up with a combined 1.3 giving you 26 points
Giving you a grand total of 66 points!

  1. Nicely done Comrade Dochovich, is that Sherman the American capitalist pig "lend lease" one your great-uncle Alexei drove in the Great Patriotic War? :)

  7. Great work Dave! Congrats on finishing the Highlanders. Love the gas station. Now you need a few BMW 3 Series as objectives for the Soviets. :)
