From MartinC: Many Tiny Things [Limbo] (405points)

I've had a productive week. Weather freezing over here in Blighty, our infrastructure can only cope with light drizzle and 10 - 20 degrees C. It was not that. There was a lot of football on the TV, FA Cup 3rd round - look it up if you don't know what that means, but basically it is the entire English mentality of underdogs throwing themselves at the elite and losing 99% of the time. But we think built an empire on that 1%, we didn't but it'sthe national psyche. Enough rambling.

I've been painting 10mm this week, mainly for the Barbarossa campaign

Couple of Russian limbers, ok they are British zulu war ones but who really cares, and a couple of Gaz jeeps. I added Russian drivers for all 4. 

Next up the rest of the armoured recon battalion and the missing 75mm guns. I love the dinky motorcycle combinations.

Rest of the German vehicles, mainly infantry transport with some tanks, I need an extra tank.

Love how these have come out.

This is all the Germans so far. Still need to complete the engineer battalion and an artillery regiment. But its 5 battalions, which is a big Rapid Fire battle, and only 25% of the total units.

Whilst searching though the lead pile I found the following, my Limbo entry. I have this grand plan for a solo imagination campaign based on the American war of Independence, but set at the end of the 7YW in the baltic states. I have all the forces now,  Prussians,  Austrians, American (Prussian settlers), woodland Indians (Latvians and Lithuanians) and Jacobite Scots (Estonians). 

Indian canoes, terrain is very woody and wet

Civilians

These will be mobile objective markers with the potential to turn into militia.

Scores on the doors

10mm vehicles 46 inc motorbike combinations and canoes = 276
10mm artillery 4 = 12 (not included the crew, if should be included then 24)
10mm foot 85 = 85
Limbo = 20
So either 393 or 405

TeemuL: Productive week, indeed! Regarding the scoring, a gun is just a gun, so all the crew are extra points, so 405 for this happy lot. Quite a big lot of Germans, but still more coming. I see that imagination campaigns are coming from left and right, your take on it sounds quite refreshing and interesting, too. I hope to see more of that in the future!
