Checking on my German forces

 I realized that I have a significant lack of tanks for my Germans!

Now while my collection has some good bits of kit, I dont really have a full compliment of tanks for any of the Divisions I have put together. 

While setting up for a campaign game, I realized that my collection is suitable for the Bolt action games but not so much for the Flames of war!

In total, I can field only 1 Panzer Division worth of kit. My British army i can put at least 2 Divisions on the table and the Canadians 3!

So, i will seriously consider buying a Battlefront Miniatures German Panzer boxed ser.

At present count my Germans consist of



4 Panzer III

2 Panzer IV

2 Tigers, (one to be built)

2 Panthers

2 King Tigers

2 Wespe SP guns

2 Panzerjagers (panzer iv)

2 88mm guns

A mixed Squadron of 4 234s

A 222 Recce Squadron made up of a Radio car armed with an MG, a 20mm gun and a 28mm gun. 

4 Skz 252

A Brummbar 


What I would like to be able to do is to build up my tanks to at least give each Division 1 Squadron of what they need.

So, over the next bit, I shall be focusing on building up the Panzer arm. I'm also contemplating switching to a smaller scale to beef up my units. In the long term it's a cheaper option and I have access to a potential supply
