The Loose Association of Wargamers

Looking very nice Jeremy

Liking those Jeremy. New unit, and the other side having firearms. What could possibly go wrong? I give them 3 minutes on the table. Which will be a shame.

Generally each tank battalion was equipped with tanks from the same batch, so the usual was indeed a uniform scheme across the unit.

Replacement vehicles may have had different schemes and there were some ad hoc groupings when the wheels had fallen off the French army wirh all sorts of mixed organisations.

Very true. I am only doing each company of two models in the same camo scheme purely for my reference. Having 15 Char B1's and 18 H 35/39's in four regiments means that I can get an awful lot of different camo schemes across the lot. Plus softskins were camo'ed up as well but I might not go so mad with them.

Brain fart! You were talking tanks! I thought you were talking little men.

Nice Zulus - and the basing looks ace

Zulus, sir - faas....errr.....hundr.....errr.....dussins of 'em!

Thanks chaps. I’ve now cracked out 48 in the last two weeks. Think that’s a new painting record for me

You mean the one they lost twice?

Ok, need I remind you dissing the French that the only reason Britian stayed in both world wars was the ability of the army to run away faster than the Germans could catch them.
