What's on your workbench?

very nice. The ACW has a very distinctive look to it.

Near Llandyrnog I crested a hill to find a semi coming the other way.

We're working on getting them to keep their trousers on when they go out, but we're dealing with the traditions and habits of many centuries you know.

They look splendid... I am almost tempted to go dig out all those Perry plastic ACW and have a go at them.

[Essex Boy]

Lovely collection, Mark.

I've mentioned it before, but the constant American complaints about being 'unprepared for the Bocage Country' seem more than a little weak when you see where they trained for the months and years leading up to D-Day...

"Not our fault, it's everyone else's!". There seems to be a pattern...

Etranger Thanks for the rec's, mate. I'll chase up the library for them- I've already had to put my SYW books back in storage due to lack of room (I don't want them damaged).

It's not just logging trucks or buff's that make the road fun. I think the worst are road trains- they own the tar and you had better get out of the way- even a green Unimog (luckily there were only stores in it). You may remember that one from K 89, DougM? Road trains overtaking each other on the Camooweal to Three Ways stretch used to make me cringe- the bitumen wasn't wide enough for both trucks so you knew you'd be copping gravel, dust and whatever else the train's tyres were going to kick up on the way past- because you got off the bitumen as far as you could.

Ilkley, they a beautifully done, mate. (Yells at self- I WILL NOT DO 28mm ACW! I WILL NOT DO ACW! I WILL... Sorry dear. It's nothing, dear. I'll be quiet now.)

The irony of bacage, is that fighting in it was one of the reasons Normandy was chosen, as it gave the defenders time to set up before they could be swept back into the sea.

Rommel understood this, hence him wanting to stop the on the beaches and not inland.

Well that's most of the Reichsarmee grenadiers done...

[MarshalNey]

Very nice
