From JamesM: 15mm Cromwell tanks (24 points)

Hi folks,

Bit of a break since my last entry, new baby is taking up much time!

Continuing with my 1st Polish Armoured Division project, I've added the first of the combat platoons to the completed list. These are Cromwells from 10 Pulk Strzelcow Konnych (10th Polish Mounted Rifles). This was the Armoured Recce regiment of the Polish division. Painted as part of my Flames of War Normandy project. 


15mm Plastic Soldier Company models, on 60mm by 40mm bases. 



As usual, decals have been applied for the unit, aerials added and no need for magnets due to the turret pegs. Commander model to be added at a later date, and twin aerials help identify the command vehicle. 

These three tanks come in at 8 points each, giving 24 for the unit. This takes me above my target for this challenge (the joys of small targets!). Three more troops like this to do, and the whole unit will be finished. If only young Alex will give me the time...

    1. Thanks! Looking forward to trying them out on the table at some point - need a game big enough to make use of their speed.

  6. Great to see Cromwell and even better to see some Poles. Nice work James. Good luck negotiating with the lad, you’ve got another 20 odd years of it coming.
