MMG Carriers

My 2 carriers I have built via the Plastic Soldier Company 

For the game, the carriers can act as transport for the gun teams or they can fore from the carrier. Ive seen larger models done up for The New Brunswick Rangers

The 17pdr Anti-tank gun.

 This kit my Dad built this Matchbox kit back in the 1970s. I had to repair it sometime back in the 1990s and is the only one I have as a pure 17pdr. I have 2 others as 17/25pdrs by Plastic Soldier Company. 


I believe I have a stat card for it but once I can get some more from Battlefront Ill make due with the Firefly stats.

The Bofors

 

Dad was able to buy a single Bogors gun.

Initially I really didn't really know what to do woth it. I usually don't have any German planes come in. However its always good to have around.
Also, it could do some damage to infantry or soft skin vehicles. If I ever am able to getca second gun, I'd have a battery.

Humber Armoured Car

Ive been working on this kit for about a year. I've gotten 1 fully built. Work and cadets has kept me from doing up the rest.
 
In FOW, to run a troop, I'd need 3 with the 37mm gun. I belive i have enough to run 2 troops at the moment. 

Needs some extra bits and paint


The Priest: The Royal Artillery


 The Priest is another kit Dad had bought. Over time I was able to get 2 more.

To field a battery for the table I'd need up to 4. I have 2 so a single battery it will be.

So I shall hold this for my 11th Armoured Division actions.

Comet, 11th Armoured Divisions answer to the Panther

 Years ago, when my Dad started our 1/76 collection, he bought either Airfix or Matchbox kits. One of the kits he got was the Comet. 

The Comet was a late war British tank design which eventually was given to the 11th Armoured Division. It had a 77mm gun which at that stage could take on most of what the Germans could through at them.


My Flames of War (Battlefront Minatures) card shoes that a troop can either be 3 or 4 tanks.

I believe that I now have 3 with another as the troop HQ. 

Once the weather warms up, I plan to get some games going again

Jagdpanzer

 

Im still working on the kits I got last year (or was that 2 years ago) for my FOW collection. This vehicle in the picture is in the Canadian War Museum collection in Ottawa.
