As you can see I have Lt Spiers in command this time. Dave Docherty (curse him) supplied the name of an officer of Dog company so I felt forced to include him. Which would mean these are the 101st regiment and not the 82 "All American" regiment. But I will use them as both.
Having never used a flame thrower in the PBI rules I have no idea how good it will be but I am hoping it will be able to make any armoured vehicles think twice.
In addition the Peter Pig rules require dead markers so here are 8 dead counters. These are the figures that you paint but hope never to use, but you have to have anyway. But with me in charge they will get a lot of use I am sure. In Fact I may need to go and buy some more! Yes perhaps I should put another order in right now!
As I had spare figures I also made 5 additional .30 Cal stands. This will allow me to swap out some of the BAR stands if I choose to give better LMG firepower. In the rules you can mix and match LMGs in the same Platoon as long as you do not go over the limit of 3 per platoon. So this option may well pay dividends only time will tell.
So an extra SMG stand* a bazooka stand and another Rifle stand. I know I said I had run out of SMG figures for the command stand (Lt Spiers) but if I had used it there they would have been in identical poses and I would have always looked at the stand with an unformed question on my lips.
So that folks is all of my 15mm US Paratroopers for PBI. I will try to do a basing walkthrough on Friday so until then, take care, have fun, try to roll some dice and shove figures around the table.
All the best from Clint
Nice additions to your paras Clint :)
ReplyDeleteCheers Tamsin. I may well start the Star-ships tonight.
DeleteThey're great! Nothing beats combat engineers.
ReplyDeleteI was quite curious to see how you get the flamethrower guy, ha!
Thanks Mathyoo. I could not find any Para flames but now have some (6) extras with no use cluttering u my lead pile. Ha ha. So If you need any let me know!!!
DeleteHa, thank you, but I sold my army a while ago - there's only one more I have to sell :D
DeleteWell done on getting them all finished. That's a very nice looking force you have.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan. I do need a change now. Currently painting a few 10mm Samurai and prepping some star ships. Expect them both (with luck ) next week.
DeleteGreat looking force Clint! Superb job on getting them finished so quickly. Good luck when you use them.
ReplyDeleteCheers Bob. I will be fielding an above average force when I use them so I will no doubt have fewer troops than my opponent so I will NEED all the luck I can get!
DeleteThey look great Clint.
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon.
DeleteTop-notch job again, compliments to PM !
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe.
