Eventually I will phase out my entire collection of craft store acrylics with VJ but that will be a long process!

Most helpful - I r...Thanks for commenting, Paul! <br /><br />Most helpful - I realized I didn't have any LMGs in my Canadian sections - then I realized Old Glory wants you to purchase a separate bag of them. So I may purchase a Battlefront infantry platoon to supplement my Canadians and get the appropriate weapons spread out amongst the sections. <br /><br />I wish I could say I've been sensible - I just happen to be working on 15s at the moment ;) A friend once told me to try and limit my scales to only 2 - which sounds easy in theory but in practice is another story. Looks like my "2 scales" of choice are 15mm,1/72 and a little 10mm thrown in for fun!<br /><br />I'm still planning a quite large "Bloody Buron" scenario inspired by "Sparker's" blog (available on my links on the right) featuring the North Nova Scotia Highlanders and Sherbrooke Fusiliers being ambushed by Kurt Meyer's HJ fanatics from the 12th SS. I have all of the Germans I'll need, but will need a shed-load more Brits/Commonwealth troops. I've already got the armor covered I think... I may need to purchase 1 or 2 more Shermans and a Firefly.<br /><br />Anyways, this would be a great D +1 scenario that I'd like to play around the first or second week of June this year.<br /><br />Your Ivans are about 50% now. Still need to do the officer.<br /><br />Stay tuned, I'm planning on playing the 9th Panzer's attack around Bityug to outflank Ponyri next during the Kursk campaign. This was, in reality, a very large tank battle and I've not yet played a "big" tank on tank battle with BGK.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-24598197408920254112015-02-03T14:02:08.961-05:002015-02-03T14:02:08.961-05:00So many great things being progressed - in multipl...So many great things being progressed - in multiple genres no less! Very impressive. And very excited to see my Ivans making the WIP list too - thanks indeed :-)<br /><br />And you are far more sensible that I, doing all your periods in one scale...<br /><br />Yes British and Commonwealth forces used the top loaded Bren as the section automatic weapon in all theatres, as these chaps show in the Western Desert:<br />http://ww2db.com/image.php?image_id=11244<br /><br />and here demonstrated in the jungles of the Pacific:<br />http://ww2db.com/image.php?image_id=4214<br /><br />WW2 Commonwealth Infantry forces used the organisation of 3 sections (of 9 men) per platoon, with 1 Bren per section:<br />http://www.awm.gov.au/atwar/structure/army-detailed-structure/Paul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-80410162573687260082015-02-03T13:34:25.995-05:002015-02-03T13:34:25.995-05:00Thank you, Phil.
