I used this as a guide for the painting for the helmets, the two uniform colours (drybrush it first then highlight with the same colour) and the boots. This is an overview of some of the Poses (go back to my earlier posting here as there is a link to a review of these miniatures there from another blog highlighting some issues – I agree with this review). These guys will fight the Finnish Platoon I made earlier (link here). I did the photos after having based them so there is still some static grass on the figures in some places – sorry!

Had some marathon sessions last week to paint up a company box of plastic Russians/Soviets from Battlefront (Product code SBX33 Strelkovy Company in Plastic, at £28, but I got mine cheaper on ebay), with some additional miniatures from Skytrex (LMG second men, AT Rifles), Mortars from Peter Pig and further SMG men from Battlefront. Soviet Platoon for Chain of Command (Finnish Continuation War) with Support My lighting solution(s) for my travel rig.Bersaglieri Platoon for Chain of Command (Greek 1940-41).Soviet Platoon/Company for Chain of Command (Finnish Continuation War).Hope that was of some interest, take care That is all we need for the American side, next the Germans…. Some extra BARs The Whole Platoon with the OptionsĪnd then two mortar teams finished today (apart from gun metal colours – I realize now), A Sniper Team – taking out a Tank Commander Three Sniper teams MMG teams in a little bit of an awkward position. An extra Bazooka Team taking a careful aim Here are the models… One of the three Rifle Sections, those Shermans will also come handy for the Scenarios. HMG and some Engineers (the new plastic box should do the same too). The basic Platoon is based on the Battlefront US Rifle Company pack – this is not the plastic one they are currently selling but the old metal version, it gives you everything you need for the campaign except for some Shermans, Flamethrower, 50 cal. The American Rifle Platoon and the support options is more or less completed – there are a few I have not done yet and I will pick these up from Peter Pig at SELWG. We also have a set to winterize for some other theatres, but that is for another colder day. We did not use the base it came with instead installed them on top of thin washers with superglue (some of them on bases) and made a few damaged ones. The one we bought, but I battlefront, Galeforce 9 and I believe Peter Pig does versions too. We also did some Telegraph poles that we bought from e-bay, they are laser cut MDF but I think they work very well and saved us some building time and 24 for a fiver (£5) is much cheaper than some alternatives – that perhaps look better, but for us this was perfectly adequate. Joke aside he was a great help and it is nice to have some company doing this kind of stuff. The Little one dry brushing a road with great care and precision, I wish I had that dedication but I do not have the time. I am also using this project as an opportunity to get the Little One a little bit more involved in the terrain making aspect of the hobby, this time we did some roads and telegraph poles – which was great fun and with immediate gratification (at least for us) in the pictures below. To play the scenarios you basically need a platoon or US Infantry and a Platoon of Germans, with some support options. The campaign covers the advance of the US 175th Infantry Regiment and their struggles in linking the Omaha and Utah beaches.

I really enjoy the format of the “Pint Sized” campaign books and you can find this one and others on the Too Fat Lardies webpage (link here), you would need the Chain of Command Rules as well as At the Sharp End campaign supplement for the full experience – but I dare say you could use this with any WW2 plutoon based rules and have fun they are great products. He had up to recently not been to interested in Chain of Command but now, out of the famous blue, he would like to do some Normandy actions, so I thought the first campaign Richard Clarke did could work well (and I have to admit I fancied painting some Americans and Germans). I am currently struggling with time to do any bigger gaming ventures apart from some gaming with the Little One as I spend more time than I would like away from home due to work. I have used Chain of Command for some very fun Games in a Finno-Russian Winter war setting and for the Continuation war period. I have bought all of the Too Fat Lardies Pint sized campaigns for Chain of Command to date, but I have to admit of not yet played any of them.
