@Hudson Adams I suppose some one could have politely pointed that out when I started asking questions and that would have been resolved much quicker. It seems to me some folks have read malici...
Personal Firepower for the German WW1 Infantry: MP18 Lugers with snail drums.
@Grumpy Gnome that answer tells me you never read the actual official statement from the company as it has a LOT more info in one place than the little interview. Also I saw your posts ...
@Hudson Adams Still good for people to read it in such a concise manner. There is plenty of evidence of people concerned about the STLs. Yes the blog posts have helped, as have forum posts. Bu...
@Grumpy Gnome Half the answers in that article were just copy/pasted/tweened from our state of Atlantic post a month ago: https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/statum-atlanticum-ann...
@Grumpy Gnome if you read any of our blog posts over the last couple months we said all the same things already directly!!!!!
Looks like business was announced by Royal Mail as nearly but not quite fully restored as of 17 Feb. https://www.royalmail.com/international-incident-bulletin
@JTam for Afghanistan even Martini-Henry rifles are not unheard of. Plenty of SMLEs as well as No.4's; for the most part those rifles were obtained between the 1840's and the 1940's. Number 4 rifle...
Firstly, just to tie this in, obviously the StuG is a natural ally to WGA Eisenkern on the battlefield. That being said, I wanted to discuss the weapons they come with and their uses, as I see it, ...
SMLE: SMLE on the WGA WW1 British Infantry: No 4 MK I: No 4 MK I on SAS/Commando sprue:
@Mark Dewis Plenty of SMLEs available soon from the WW1 British and WW2 Early War British kit as you said. But if you want to bash it, you don't have to wait. The Enfield rifle in pic...
@Grumpy Gnome I don't play RPGs, but that looks unique and fun.
SMLE arms won't be in short supply soon... 😉 I could go some Lee-Metfords and early Lee-Enfields, and their carbine versions though.
Rubicon do already produce it in 28mm plastic - but it does line up with the Italians, and with possible future Chinese and Early WW2 Germany. Also, after it had been superseded as a frontline anti...
As a long range recce vehicle, the numbers seem about right. The LRDG it was mostly used to counter only operated a few hundred trucks and jeeps.

Saw a copy of this on eBay the other day and thought it may be of interest here. An interesting way to put ancient figures to use. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/redpandapublish/the-adventur...
Death Fields prone sniper.... Something along these lines:
Theme - "Personal Firepower": Time for more dakka.
An neat idea from the FEB 23 issue of Wargames Illustrated that might work nicely with the upcoming WGA "French Archeologist/Nazis":
A brilliant article. Now that is the kind of informative transparency I was talking about. It helps people better understand the process and motivations of WGA. Great stuff. 👍
@Bill Thomas those heads I mentioned above will help ( e.g. https://anvilindustry.co.uk/exo-lord-cyclops-automata-heads-3), I too will dump the broken barrel weapon arms. Note that Anvil have a sy...
Arms tossing an Infantry portable UAV into the air. A small UAV. (Although perhaps less combat Fleshlight looking than this one). Arms with controller. Feed display. Maybe in a chest ...
@Sean Tighe I think its fair to say Wargames Atlantic 'made their bones' doing the unexpected, so to speak. Nothing should come as too surprising an addition to their ranges, and this strikes me as...
The whole issue is heavy on Wargames Atlantic content: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/58250/02-hundred-hours?page=2
Wargames Illustrated Issue 422 February 2023: Has a nice article on the new 02 Hundred Hours Partisan Resistance Cell. Excerpts:
A plastic 7.62cm Infanterie Geschutze for the WW1 range to compliment the German Infantry would be neat. https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/78479/we-need-to-talk-about-artil...
The most recent issue of Wargames Illustrated (Issue 422 February 2023): Features an interview with @Hudson Adams on Wargames Illustrated Digital:
@Grumpy Gnome That must have been a cool project. It must have taken a General Officer signature to authorize the work/use for civilian events. Good on him.
@Sean Tighe @Paul Mitting If there's a pattern to Wargames Atlantic's releases it's that there is no pattern. @Sean Tighe Your suggestions would have tied in with existing sets bette...
@JTam I was speaking of Star Wars, in either Legends and Clone Wars there are a lot of vehicles with exposed gunners.
The Pak36, also if obsolete in 1940, served 'til the end of the war, expecially in rear echelon's troops, as primary weapon of captured vehicles, such as chenillettes or bren carriers, also for sup...
Very well done, I was just looking for alternate heads for Stargrave, and Pig Iron's heads are ideal for conversions.
Effectively Italy's wheeled vehicles were well done, such as the good Autoblinda Ab40/41, contrary to tanks, less than stellar, and the Sahariana performed well in NA. Naturally, given the awful s...
I think most Punk genres fall heavily into the fantasy setting anyway. In fact the power sources for most artifacts in these stories tend to be semi-magical or use fantastical means of generating t...
@Mark Dewis And also by sentries, expecially in forward posts.
Although it would be a welcome kit for WW2 gamers, it seems unrelated to the other releases so far. I would have thought either Death Fields artillery as a better choice for their efforts. Unless t...
@Andreas Mayrhofer wow! Those are looking superb 😍
@Geoff Maybury for you my friend, of course... when I get the whole deal complete I will make a picture post specifically, but for now here's my "Military Stalker" crew...
@Dennis Horne thanks for that, very much appreciated and I'm pleased to say that my little order has now arrived :) @Geoff Maybury hurrah 😂 It appears they have included some extra bodies in both ...
@Brian Van De Walker What Mark said.
Ooooooh, I want those arms. Like, literally just the arms, piles of them, maybe with slight variations. Empty hands are so hard to find, even more so on left arms that don't just hang and swing whi...
@JTam Years ago I restored a PAK 36 with another serving soldier at Fort Polk, Louisiana after he got me into WW2 re-enacting. I seem to recall it officially belonged to Fort Polk but he got ...
Another curious choice that doesn't really fit with their current range? A PaK 40 for the Lehr, a 20 mm or 37mm AA gun for their Sentries?
Results are now up on the main page.
