Terrain bits: Manhole cover with an arm sticking out

In the WI issue for January 2020, they listed lists some Fighting in built up areas terrain ideas. Ideas that piqued my eye was the one using spare arm bits as a marker to show troops in hiding.

So, I've realized what I can do with the ton of spare kit I have. 

Wargames illustrated January 2020 freebie, Early war Panzergrenadier

Free sprue helped alleviate the fact that a rat ate the wiring on my refrigerator
I've built most of the 6, paint will come later
And I have gotten them mostly painted and mounted, pictures to follow
As of February 2020 they have been painted just not pictures yet

2020 plans less growth more facelifts

A few more tinkering and using the theatre books for some actions.
Maybe some fun with Anti-tank guns in skirmishes
And building the kits that I already have
and with Covid 19 Crisis, lots of time on my hands and of my kids. So i might just get some stuff finished. I know, promises promises.
My kits are coming along into June I have built up 4 second war kits.

An Axis and allies Christmas

This year I had to work the holiday but I had a good round of Axis and Allies with Ian, and despite being beaten twice, its great now to have a challenging opponent

a little blurry but you get the drift

thats better

Burma's, 1945

Ian wants to do a battle with his Japanese ancestors. He's set up a defensive position thinking our collection for the Japanese is faster than it is. However his lines may contract and we're still not sure if I will be the attack or defender, so this will be a work for the new year
And this battle is going to get played at some point

Churchill Tanks, combat and engineering

Another addition from my buddy I trade kit with. So some Engineer kit to work on.

A good friend of mine from work, was so bored that she built the Churchill bridge tank for me. Now I got the kit in 2019 but it was built in the summer of 2020 during the Covid pandemic by my fellow coworker who was also laid off and was so bored she wanted to build some kits. She didn't want to keep them but wanted to build tanks as she had previously built airplanes.

Most of the Churchill tanks I have are set up for the Italian campaign. However I will press them into service with my British units

Canadians at Carpiquet Aerodrome 1944

A mix of British and Canadian armour let's see how well this force will do against the SS. I don't think I need to get anymore British or Canadian armor!

This was a mega smash up! The Canadians decided to try and take a hill to dominate the airport but the SS had figured out how to keep the Canadians from reaching their objectives. 

Ian was focused on taking out a lot of my carriers. He left .y Artillery alone but I was still unable to take and hold the hill
