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. 


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. 

Panther platoons

 So I was able to get some more Panthers from Plastic Soldier Company in 15mm for my new smaller battles. Smaller in scale but bigger in deployment. 

The kit has 5 tanks

 So I'll check woth what I have and flesh out my current platoons.

I shall have to paint some more

Dug in Jagpanther

 

So with the Vallejo Mud effect, I've decided to use my spare hull bits to build some dug in tanks with spare bits I have. 
Im working on a second so that I can field a platoon.
