Well no the not quite! I will explain as I go on. You will kindly note that the picture of the BMD-1 to the Right is a real life one and is included only to show what the camouflage patters should be. I don't think they have come out too much different on the smaller ones or at least they are similar enough to give an idea of what they should be. 
The second Photograph shows the whole force except for the infantry all together an below according to "Digest N04 Volume 1" of The Challenger 2 wargames rules. Since they were published the composition and equipment has changed, so please do not accept this as an up to date list. And bellow is a list of all that I have painted

PPB
For those Playing in the Play by blog game I will need your turn by 9am GMT tomorrow. I have already had 3 orders so thanks to Edwin, Millsy and Lucky Lee. You three at least will be able to move as you desire. Anyone not sending in a move order will be assumed not to be giving any orders and will be assumed to be moving in a straight line with their current sail settings. If this is your intention Please send an order in anyway just so I know you are awake and have not fallen off of the edge of the world.Don't forget in the early game orders are easy. Just let me know if you want to turn and which way and if it is at the beginning or end of your move. By How much of a turn and if you want to change your sail setting. When you send your order in I will send a confirmation email back. Don't forget folks I can take extra Photos if you require them but allow me 48 Hours to complete this task.
New Project Alerts
Yesterday I took delivery of 480 10mm Zulu's (which I call the 500 for ease) These are going to be prepped for Curt's Analogue painting challenge in December. You are warned!Second Warning I have been seriously looking at "Queen Anne's War" for Donnybrook in 15mm as I have a number of stalled projects which I can paint figures for and get a couple or three forces finished for. So expect a trial of those being painted in the next week. Once Paint Monkey has finished.
That's it folks. Have a good Day and I will work out and post the PBB results tomorrow for turn 1.
All the best Clint
Great looking vehicles very impressive looking all massed together like that. Looking forward to seeing your other projects as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon. I do get very easily side tracked though but expect the Zulus to start around Christmas. The Queen Anne's War I may start this afternoon. (Or I may play Shogun 2 Total war! Just checking it out before I have to Look after my nephew you understand, not because I want to!)
Deletelol Go for it :D I haven't played that game in years!
DeleteI've just placed a Crooked Order Big Tam and that mealnaut wee bloody must haves!
My word that's an impressive force Clint! Great job Sir.
ReplyDelete3 companies so we can say it's Battalion strength. (with a few extras) Now I just have to paint all the infantry. And then My West Germans! It never stops. But at least you know there will be Zulu's coming sooner or later! Thank you Michael
DeleteThat's an appreciable force, you must be really pleased at how it's turned out.
ReplyDeleteAs for the other projects, good luck with those.
Thanks Joe the Infantry for them will take the longer time I suspect.
DeleteThat's a hell of a lot of really, really small tracked vehicles. Lovely paint too dude!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob, My German army is larger so when I get round to that there will be a bigger lot of really, really small tracked vehicles. (And actually some Tanks!)
DeleteNice stuff mate, I've no idea where you find the energy to do so many things simultaneously!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lee. I get bored doing one thing so tend to have a lot of things started. So I can usually get something finished, although not if you ask me to do too much of the same thing in one go!
