The Loose Association of Wargamers

Three Puma helicopters finished, so I've now got some 15mm South African infantry on the go.

I've just finished about 50 Sammyray foot apart from the Mon, but it drove me bonkers so I've just settled for 2 battalions of Myurawski Poles as a little light relief

Well, I have a Messerspit, a He 51, a number of RPG characters for my current group, and an Italo-Norman or Siculo-Norman army on the table, with a Byzantine one in the wings.

Did the byzantines make wide use of the He51?

Mainly for anti submarine patrols.

I understand that those Cappadoccian Heavy submarines were a real hassle.

Of course- it was a spectacular ground-attack aircraft. It didn't do so well in anti-submarine warfare, though. Wet wings just don't give as much lift!

Perhaps it needed better tactics?

Finally started to paint my WWII French. X3 infantry squads, 2 mortars and a command group. Need a few more bits to make a more interesting force but I'm nearly there. Not intending to do loads, just a decent games worth. From tonights progress I'm inclined to think they'll be a quick turn around hopefully. Not that hard to pant. They gaps will be on my list for Leeds and Stockton, mostly need some machine guns.

The white flags will be really quick to paint. The yellow on the trousers, but so much.
