Show and Tell: 8th Army

Andy helpfully pointed out that I'd based my infantry with my DBM/FOG head on, namely grouping like figures together, so in my original posting you can see all the riflemen together, all the Brens together etc.  In Blitzkreig Commander, infantry isn't by type, but by quality.  So I've rebased them so that (from the back going forward), Green troops have just rifles, Regulars also include one figure carrying a Bren or SMG, and Veterans have two figures with Brens or SMGs.  Half a dozen of the bases also have a prone figure with a Boyes anti-tank rifle.


The remaining infantry are (left to right) engineers (with flamethrowers and mine detectors), medium machine guns, and 3 inch mortars.


The guns include Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns, 2 pounder and 6 pounder anti-tank guns and a 25 pounder field artillery unit..


Tanks are Crusaders, Valentines and Grants.


And lastly, a collection of other vehicles: trucks, Dorchester command vehicle, Marmon-Harrington armoured cars, jeeps and Bren carriers.
