to answer to the OPs question … where would you put it?  as a squad (where 3-4 man squads are deemed too small…) as a weapons team – now its in direct comparision to the MMG & LMG teams and to be honest you’re looking at 50 points for a regular team with an LMG (15 points for the LMG, 30 points for 3 crew, 5 points because it doesnt have…[Read more]

erm… the Bren was an LMG not an automatic rifle…

also How a weapon is used is part of how a weapon is charcatised…. for example MMGs are just a game distinction, they were either light (squad) or heavy machine guns!

Next point is … its a game that has more in line with comic books of the 80s & 90s + Hollywood films over historical…[Read more]

Even so there is no panzer heavier then a Panzer 1 listed in the app

Howdy John!  I think the idea is that the Partisans are using armor they captured from the Germans.  I doubt either the US, Canadian or British militaries were handing over any tanks to Partisans.  Just one guy’s $.02….

Howdy Mike!  This is just based on my experience as a light infantryman.  Generally speaking, LMG teams don’t move around by themselves, they’re usually attached to some other unit; either attached to a squad to beef up a squad-level mission, or with the other LMG team and a fire team for security as part of the support element in a p…[Read more]

Sorry not looked at this forum for a few weeks…

Have we (the wardroom) looked this aircraft – yes
is it worth it – not really I’m afaid
reason is that rate of fire isnt really taken into account … at best it would be a flight the same as the other B25s but with MTBs light gun

One thing I like  to do , is open up the hatches that are molded closed . A lot of the newer kits are staring to have separate hatch covers but the older stuff is sadly lacking .

Cool .  I did something similar converting the Puma to a 234/3 with the  Warlord 251/9 sprue they always seem to have on a half price sale . In fact I grabbed all those 251 sprues on a “just might need ut one day ” kind of thing
