New - All Quite On The Western Frontposted in General Chatter
Something like this reproduction French Schneider tank ,built off of an old tractor, would have looked better. The suspension looks a lot closer to the original than the BMP suspension

@Michael Scott Great name, by the way. I can see pieces like the French 75, the British 18 pounder and the German 77, but not much bigger than that. I think that the French 37mm infantry gun...

Crashed Aircraft Terrainposted in The Great War: The War to End All Wars 1914-1918
I'd vote for a German Halberstadt CL II, it would work for a crashed airplane, or better yet, a ground attack aircraft. A British Dehavilland DH-5 would be a good choice for the ...

WSS Article on Wargames Atlantic WW2 Frenchposted in World Ablaze: The Second World War 1939-1945
I hadn't heard or read about Wargames Atlantic doing Blitzkrieg era Germans. If they do, I hope that they don't model them wearing leather y-straps. During the Blitzkrieg era, the y-straps weren't ...
