I see the yellow sand ones as being civilian vehicles that have been pressed into service while the others are through and through civilian vehicles.
As you can see there are 5 variations. ^ if you include the AA truck shown recently. From left to right. Pick up, Box van, Tanker lorry, command lorry and Flat bed lorry.
In Commercial service I wanted to keep them as bright as possible., That way they can only be so much of a distraction. I may well change the colours on the next lot to be more muted only time shall tell. For now though it is always good to have a few civilian vehicles on the board even as just acting as some form as cover for troops to hide behind.
I do have a load more vehicles to do but I feel as if I need a short break from these for a few days or a week, maybe longer we will have to wait and see.
But at least I am plugging away through the heat even if I had to do this at 5am to keep myself cool.
Quick Board update: Having laid the boards out full size they are a little small. Not giving up of course but perhaps trying to be a touch more real with the size I have. Stay tuned for the next update.
These look great Clint and will bring the table to life. Provide a bit of cover or nuisance to manoeuvring around them during games.
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon, The more "Clutter" the better in wargames. It also allows for missions such as the spy is in the green box van! (There are at this stage NO green vans)
DeleteGreat looking civilian vehicles Clint, this should really add much more to your games
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. While in a wargame these are not vital I personally like them. The numbers of cars we have today have grown in the last 10 years SIGNIFICANTLY!
DeleteA nice variety of vehicles you have there and all very usable. I like Brigade Models as a company.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan. I also like Brigade models as a company Jolly nice guys t talk to as well.
DeleteGreat stuff, Clint, and more to come too - marvellous news. Lovely choice of colours and nicely painted too. That’s already quite a vehicle collection you’ve got there, so looking forward to your additions.
ReplyDeleteThank you Blax. Yes there is always more to come. Just dealing with the disappointment of being sold the wrong thing at the moment. been sold the wrong gauge wire... not for use here but the whole morning is now a flop
DeleteI do like seeing logistic vehicles in games and these will do the job nicely.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joe. I agree with you Logistics is a huge help on the modern battlefield. And at this scale It really does need to be shown.
DeleteGreat looking vehicles Clint. Always nice to see that extra bit of stuff for the table.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carl I feel the little extras on the table make a big difference. While they may not be glamorous they are vital to a modern war.,
DeleteLoads of potential with these bad boys Clint. V nice as always
ReplyDeleteThank you Andy. No painting this day as footie is on and so schedule goes side ways.
DeleteYup, thankfully the result we wanted, albeit not the style we would like to win it in 😬
DeleteCould not watch the penalties (seen them now though)And am only looking ahead till Saturday
DeleteA great selection of vehicles.
ReplyDeleteThank you lee. Always good to have more trucks than you need!
DeleteThey certainly work Clint, cracking job Sir.
