British 1940 Regulation Platoon with Supports, 15mm.
I have had these figures since October 2019 and they are the last of four armies that I have struggled to complete . Will be used to play CoC early WW2 1940-1942. Finally able to complete over the Christmas break.
This submission is a complete British 1940 Regulation Platoon with Supports, Scale 15mm.
From various manufacturers but mostly Peter Pig. All metal except that all nine vehicles are PVC 3D prints.
My first ever submission so I hop it works. Thanks Tamsin.

Welcome aboard, Howard! This is what we call a 'small points bomb' as your first entry. I would like to hear Richie Benaud award you 222 points for it. Thank you very much for the detailed points breakdown. Those printed vehicles are lovely- but can they withstand the blitzkrieg?!

Great entry Howard, lovely to see a complete platoon with proper supports. They look stout lads, I’m sure they’ll be able to fight their way to Dunkirk and hold the perimeter. Lots of options for gripping scenarios there, well done.
ReplyDeleteWow, a whole platoon plus supports. Great work. It would nice to see some close ups along with the panoramas.
ReplyDeleteImpressive!
ReplyDeleteVery nice painting! Should be enough materiel there to give Ze Germanz a headache
ReplyDeletelovely points bomb, early war best
ReplyDeleteCracking work Howard!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Challenge Howard and while you might feel insecure of you posting skills, there is nothing to worry about your painting skills! The camouflaged tanks are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteNice entry Howard - I really like the last picture - its very realistic and true to life as most of us would confess that the usual setting for our figures is not on the tabletop but in plastic boxes! I think you should get extra points fr that! :-)
ReplyDeleteGood amount of work! One suggestion if I may, I'd paint the bases in lighter colours as a way of making the models stand out. This is what I do with my units
ReplyDeleteGreat work, Howard! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely looking platoon,great light tanks and carriers!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
