Last year or was it the previous one? anyway the sinews of war in other words - logistics, hove into view and its the same again this year. In fact it is the same 1/60 scale? Corgi lorries liberated this time at a toy fair bin ends sale, and subjected to a wargamers paint job.
Last time it was my Rugian (french) colours while today I offer up my Gombardian (italian) colours for these commercial lorries pressed into war service.
The basic colour is a common dark green - docrafts jungle green in the uk, while I have tried a pale green from vallejo to create a white dusty environment. Think limestone. As you can see all headlights are blinkered and identification plates are suppressed. One vehicle is actually straight out of the paint shop heading to the front for the first time.
so I game 20-25mm or 1/72 i.e. not 15mm nor 28mm. So I am claiming
3 x 15 points = 45 points for the 3 vehicles.
Here are a few pictures using my currently favoured "Painting Portrait" approach to displaying my wargames figures and vehicles.
Best of luck everyone especially those starting on this road for the first time!

Welcome back to the Challenge, John!
Great work on these 'Gombardian' lorries. As you say, its great to be able to reflect the logistics of war on the tabletop, and for the 20th century this usually means trucks, and lots of them. The blinkered lights are a nice touch but I have to say I quite like your photo setup and background - very nice!
45 points for your climb to your points target - well done!

A nice set of soft-skins for bringing the supplies up to the front lines.
