@JTam I am aware of that, however it is counter to your own point about line of sight range for many modern weapons.  @Mark Dewis I would agree that unit scale has affected the situ...

Ah yes. The A7V. 20 were made, it was rubbish, and the Australian infantry stole the one they captured and shipped it back home as a trophy. Here are some pictures of representitive AFV crews of ...

Thanks everyone for the advice and guidance!

@Grumpy Gnome could well be, Grumpy. I could not recall anything being said one way or the other, but the preview stuff felt like the WGA staff look. Doesn't affect my point - WGA offer services fo...

I think it's less the weapon range thing than the size of the forces. Generally speaking, the wargaming community has preferred to play with infantry companies and tank squadrons for their modern w...

@Grumpy Gnome  The weapons ranges in Bolt Action were curtailed to enable a little maneuver on a 6x4 table.  It was a deliberate decision.  The weapons ranges were also based on how...

Maybe it's a prayer book they keep wrapped to protect.      

@Mithril2098  I've seen considerably more than my share of ammo pouches over the years.  This doesn't look like any ammo pouch I've ever seen.  It could BE an ammo pouch, but if it ...

@Barry Evans ah, they're printed in England. I thought they were printed in the US. Which means... I may be paying for some extra shipping... would like some Murican flags. 

@Grumpy Gnome I can see how he could be annoying, nut I think he's entertaining.  Likely as not, my wife would find him insufferable. If you haven't yet, give his T34 vid a watch. 

@Barry Evans did you want some to try? Sending a padded mailer won't be too bad. I could do that for you. 

@Geoff Maybury  Did they ever resolve your heads issue? I've just recieved an e-mail saying that they have posted me my order (- but only part of it, they deleted the security troopers and c...

Like everyone, I feel like the main problem is you treating them like some kind of old-school metal/resin miniatures. ;) They don't require washing, and plastic glue is what you want to use for pla...

nah, i'm pretty sure that its a ammo pouch. it has the look of one fo those "universal magazine holder" type things, with the long flap and sides that fold up a bit. which lets you stuff magazines ...

Yeah as mentioned, I haven't washed any hips plastic. I would only use superglue if there is resin or metal or non hips plastic. For hips stuff I use this:   

@JTam I hear you mate, I was just reflecting what I have read in places like the Toofatlardies forum. Chain of Command for example is written for 15mm but even Rich of Toofatlardies uses 28mm ...

I don't buy into the smaller scales being better suited for Cold War/WW3 gaming due to the "vehicles and weapons ranges." Vehicle density between WW2 to the Cold War probably declined.  It ce...

Many thanks, Grumpy....great call on the flags:) I will look into it

Hi, My suggestion for one of the monthly themes would be to have :A Command set for Death Fields Bulldogs. Maybe a general/commander, coms guy, medic, standard bearer, Sargent, ..Engineer/mechanic!...

Brilliant work!  Both draped across the vehicle and on either the antenna or a separate flagpole both work in my opinion. 

@JTam Unfortunately supplier Does not ship to the United Kingdom.....mmm wonder why?? never mind!  

@JTam ....just noticed the link to eBay...many thanks, will investigate:)  

@JTam Many thanks for the flag link. I will have to get some more colour toner for the printer.LOL.It looks like an excellent Forum...very friendly. Looking forward to contributing to the great mod...

Very nice...Will you post up pics when painted?

I've seen this brand of cotton flag draped on models with really good results: https://www.ebay.com/itm/143358334129?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=-bJc0Q7RQoe&sssr...

I think that an heavy weapons support sprue would be great, pratically 3 hw, a mortar, an HMG, and an H. AT missile launcher, with spare bodies' parts to adapt the originals ones to the various wea...

@Barry Evans  Thank You.  Welcome to the forum! You've been posting super quality stuff.

Well, I wish I had your capabilities in scratchbuilding such a (wonderful) beast! But your greatest achievment surely was adding clones' heads to the Eisenk. troopers, an excellent way to build yo...

I built 5 or so of the Goblins.  Liquid model glue (Tamiya extra fine) and experienced no problems.   https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/79323/converting-wga-gobl...

@JTam Thanks for the great feedback and some brill ideas:)

@Battle Specter . Thanks for the idea:)

That looks pretty amazing.  Painting and modeling is superb. Perhaps created recessed circles on the diorama base for the miniatures bases to fit in as opposed to removing the bases from the ...

@Colin Brinkley Yeah, I have a few things in the fire right now. Can't spring on them.

I like the idea of the flag waving in the breeze from the back of the turret. So far, that looks pretty lit.  

Hi Harold there is no need to wash our plastic. "Mold release" is not a thing. It's one of those myths leftover from ages gone by. I suspect you have excess dish detergent left over on them!

Smaller scales help with weapon ranges and more vehicle focused combat but I think it can also be a bit of a chicken and egg issue. Do companies make more 15mm WW3 because there are more 15mm WW3 p...
