From AlanD - Rats! (31 points)

This is just a quick little entry for the week as I just got back from overseas on Saturday. However, suitably intimidated by Paul O'G's lovely DAK entries, it's time to dig in. 


This is a platoon of Desert Rats in 15mm for games of Battle Group Tobruk, which have been some of the major hobby highlights of my last 12 months. The figures are chopped up metal minis from Skytrex and Peter Pig, with 'trenches' made from greenstuff and air-drying clay.


So, 31 half figures should give me 31 points, and more importantly, a serious obstacle to Paul's Kradschuetzen.


Nice work, Dux! I love dug-in figures that are 'below' tabletop level. It is much more visually satisfying than placing them behind a big mound or just having a dug-in marker. I'm keen to try Battle Group at some stage, maybe when the Cold War edition arrives. Good luck stopping Paul's DAK-hammer!
