Afrika Korps

 

The Ballantines series came out over 50 years ago. This particular copy was published in 1968.

My Dad collected about 2 dozen volumes of the series and over the years I have looked at but never really read most of them.

Their style is very reminiscent of the contemporary Osprey publishing MAA series which began about the same time. 

So over the next little while, I shall be looking at these and seeing how I can adapt the information to my Wargames 

Operation Bagration

 Happy 2025! Over the holidays I had a HUGE increase in my 15mm collection thanks to a fellow collector who via trade and cash, I got around 100 vehicles, plus their spare bits which may mean I can scratch build more.

My Soviet force now contains:

12 IS-2 tanks!

10 T-34/85? I have to check

5 SU-100

2 ISU-52 SP guns

2 76mm gun battery

2 57mm Anti-tank battery

4 122mm battery 

3 Scout car platoon

Rocket truck

12c trucks
