From DaveD: Kilroy was here (140 points)

This weeks first Ardennes addition is Staff Sergeant Kilroy and his supply dump. Without a form 1898-D you ain’t drawing anything … ooh well maybe that 88mm gives you sufficient authority …

 

The tent is an artillery set repurposed from the stash . The single standing figure has been lying around my paint desk for ages , and found a perfect position here , leaning out of the tent and shouting to the sentry “they better have the right form” . Although he might have an under the table supply of VAT69 if they ask nice 

“Kilroy was here” became a morale booster for troops, a way to leave a mark and connect with fellow soldiers. The doodle and phrase popped up on walls, vehicles, and even in enemy territory, symbolising the omnipresence of American forces. Naming my erstwhile supple deport Sergeant Kilroy seemed just right to me! 

There are 4 large stands of Jerry can's and one of ammunition. 

Next a Jeep and trailer having been to the dump .

Bazooka teams x 2 .

I have completed these on scenic bases too. 

Combat engineer unit 

5 large stands and two small . Again scenic bases used mostly .

HMG teams x 2

Next an M10 which was I think released as an objective marker, but is perfectly usable as in game model. It’s complete with Audie Murphy on the 50 cal 

And finally - I had time to knock out a few stands of Panzergrenadiers too 

As I haven’t been paining French Old Guard in the background this last week I have pretty much completed all the terrain work to the winter table The wrecked vehicle is a resin piece from Baueda (available from Model Army.com in the UK). A couple of ruined building pieces from Battlescale 

 

Next are a few crop areas and some bushes/marsh area pieces 

And also the stream is done - the first batch 6 feet - ready for the initial game.

 .

I am pleased with how it has come out .

And finally some  transport 

I also added some snow stuff to a couple of trucks previously completed for the summer stash just as transport for the next reinforcements .

With this weeks work done I have enough stuff for a game ! Huzzah !

So the scores are :-

62 15mm infantry = 124 points 

2 15mm vehicles = 16 points 

Total 140

TeemuL: More excellent winter material, thank you Dave! Even though I start to believe you have stolen the winter from southern Finland... :) There's little bit of everything, some terrain, lots of infantry and couple often ignored supply trucks. You have gone over your Challenge target, too, making terrain hasn't slowed you down too much. Oh yeah, and congratulations on "finishing" the table or at least finished enough to have a game. Must be a good feeling, good luck!
