| The Next Diary of an Army - Poll |
06:33 pm |
I've almost finished my late war Brits and need to choose another army as my next project. This time I'll be taking many more pictures during each step and writing more stuff regarding the construction.
Just a word of explanation: I have pretty much all the miniatures for each of these armies already, and what I don't have will be arriving shortly. Two of the armies will end up being sold as soon as they're completed (the late war Brit Paras and the US late war Armored Infantry) as I'm looking to clear some room/generate funds for other stuff and my move to Australia.
Please feel free to comment as well with your votes. I'm interested in hearing what you think and any suggestions for camo schemes, objectives, signature type basing etc.
What army should I finish next?
- Early War British Expeditionary Force Armour plus Infantry
Cruiser Tank squadron (mix of A9s, A10s and A13s) plus Motorcycle recce, lorried infantry and 18/25 pdrs.
- Early War Fallschirmjäger (Crete)
3 platoons of FJ infantry, MG platoons, Assault Pioneers platoon, Glider Assault Platoon, Recoilless Gun platoons and a Pak 35/36 Platoon.
- Early War Soviets (Winter War 1939-40)
(1 Vote) T26s, T28s, Greatcoated Sov infantry in Schlem early war headgear - snow bases
- Early War Soviets Summer 1941
T28s, T35s, T34s, KVs, usual Infantry horde
- Late War British Paratroop/Air Landing (Arnhem)
Recce Jeep squadron, 3 Para platoons, Vickers, 6 Pdrs and 75mm Pack Artillery.
- Late War American Infantry and Armor
Chaffees, Pershings, M4A3E8 Sherman 76 with sandbag armour, 3 platoons of infantry
- Late War Fallschirmjager (Normandy)
3 platoons of FJ infantry, Recoilless Guns, Stugs, AT guns

P-J:
I'm partial to early-war stuff myself - I love the look, I love the relative strengths and weaknesses of the hardware, and I love the desperate situations. Between BEF and early Sovs, I'd lean toward Sovs just from a modelling standpoint. With a Winter War look you can have a lot of fun with basing and tatty whitewashed AFVs. Of course, then you have to build some Finns....

Thanks so much for that :) Just what I need, another army. Mind you, I suspect Finns were always on the agenda once I'd decided on Winter War Soviets. |

Late war Fallschirmjager are fun. FV infantry can be hard as nails (and just as unpleasant to step on), but unforgiving if you don't use them well. I don't know anything about EW Fallschirmjager though. |
