Are you talking about the default reinforced platoon from the rule book or the theatre ones in the army and scenario books?

Strictly speaking the Blitzkrieg Germans and the Panzergrenadier Germans are early and late war.

Assuming PUG is Pick Up Game, then you could say that the Panzergrenadiers are regular or veteran, whilst the Blitzkrieg ones are inexperienced (guess who has not got a rulebook to hand for the experience levels) but only with your opponents permission.

When I have played, either my opponent and I have decided beforehand what the period and hence the theatre selection will be or one of us has supplied both sides.

I am sure more experienced players will have an opinion.

Remember that seriously anachronistic platoons will have issues, in the same way that a default Infantry will have against a Tank War platoon.

Thanks to “Italian River Of Political Significance”, I have seen pictures of the Matilda II instructions showing the sprues and the part numbers.

There appears to be high heels and flats, both kinds of exhaust (and a bustle), Vickers and BESA mantles and two different sets of upper turret mouldings (not complete turrets).

That answers a lot of my questions (except why are they not shouting this from the roof).

So it looks like a big box of Matildas for me.

Same as above, depends on the figure/weapon.

Mostly WW2 figures I assemble then paint.

Pre-basecoating the inside is a good idea.

Well, not much of an army (or armies) but:

I have some Freeborn to paint.

I have to admit I prefer the lipped bases where the figure has a base (such as metal figures) and unlipped bases where you are gluing the feet to the base.

Hi,

I have been building vehicles (and a number of figures) for a number of years.

My interest here are:
Bolt Action

Konflikt ’47

Beyond The Gates of Antares

And occasionally other things…

I sometimes babble on a bit (as Warlord’s regional rep found last December in The Gameskeeper – sorry about that).
