The latest boxes of Germans in Normandy and Late War British from PSC are good models and a bargain too for a box of 140 miniatures per 30 €. I have bought both boxes and I am planning to build three companies out of each box for Crossfire or similar rulesets. I have also bought both heavy weapon boxes although their miniatures are slightly smaller.
Here is the first one, a German Leg Infantry Company 1944-45 that contains 3 platoons with 3 squads and 1 platoon commander each, plus 1 company commander and company heavy weapons 1-HMG, 1-120mm and 1-81mm mortar.

For those who read up to the end, a question for help: Can you suggest me a good and not too complex WWII ruleset at company to battalion scale and with one base representing one squad, other than the following rulesets that I know?: Crossfire, Company Commander, Blitzkrieg Commander, Flames of War, Cross of Iron, Battlegroup, Poor Bloody infantry, Squad Leader, Rapid Fire or Nuts! Big Battles? TIA.
Oh, these look great! Which rules are you using for a Squad Leader conversion.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan. For conversion of SL I already used Company Commander from Nordic Weasel, you can see a few reports here: https://javieratwar.blogspot.com/search/label/Five%20Core%20Company%20Command
DeleteI am also using Crossfire for bigger battles of SL but first I need to paint the minis :)
Can you think of any ruleset that I may also try for Squad Leader scale games?
They look great Javier and with all those new figures you will be busy for a while.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I am not able to help on the rules. The only other set I know is WRG 1925-1950 but I would call them complex.
Thank you Ben. Yes, they are a huge lot of figures and all alike. I think I'll finish a company of Late War British and then paint some tanks and houses. After that, if nothing else catches my fancy, I'll paint another two companies of German and British during my Summer holidays, and finally the third companies probably in Xmas holidays.
DeleteWow! very nice figures!
ReplyDeleteMaybe there is a way of converting 40K rules to WW2?
Hey Chris, thanks for your kind words as well as for the hint about 40K. I'd say that it already exists and it is called Bolt Action but that is at platoon level. I think it would be more appropriate to try it with Epic Space Marine which is at battalion level and also a better set of rules. Anyway, I am after a more specific ruleset for WWII that doesn't need any tweaking. Cheers,
DeleteI am seriously impressed that you e created a convincing look for the camo capes on these.
ReplyDeleteThey are a pain to paint. I should take more care to paint their camo as it looks more Italian than German, but I have no patience :) Cheers
