Luftwaffe Field troops

Luftwaffe Field Troops
When to me Model cupboard (or as the wife says my toy box) and found I still had some WW11
20mm German Infantry unpainted how I have miss them havens knows .
Having got a lot of infantry for my 2nd panzer division so did not need any more so it did make it easy to paint up a new unit .
Out comes the Osprey books hay presto start paint them up as Luftwaffe ground troops they will help to pad out my volkssturm units .




 Fallschirmjages that will be with my Luftwaffe field troops

WWII Convoy game part 3

Had a new convoy game at the club last week and its Mike go at sinking my ships
4 E boats found a homeward convoy with light escorts one corvette and a arm trawler
one side of the table we had a harbour with  a guard Ml in side it  two Drifters looking to clear mines
coming out of the harbour and a air sea rescue launch coming back in to the harbour .
A very fast attack by the E boats with 20mm 37mm on the back escort the arm trawler lost her guns .
then the next move the 4 E boat dropped there Torpedo's marked by brass rods. Tried taken evasive action with the merchantmen and lost 3 of them
