I needed some bazooka teams for my 1/72 scale plastic figures. So, I made them. Not the most original, but effective. commandpostproductions.co on the "from the work bench" page. Thanks Dave |

They look good to me. Nice website by the way, I'm intrigued by your rules. I've started getting back into 1/72 WWII figs, mainly to use with Nuts! or Disposable Heroes but I'm looking for a decent set for bigger games. What size bases are you using for 1/72s? |

I bet you you could shoot them again if they had loaders. I'm just sayin'!  They do look great! Seriously, have you thought about making some loaders for these guys? I'll bet you could find a kneeling guy suitable to add a mortar round in hand which would closely resemble a bazooka round. I purchased the book as an e-book. The rules feel like an old school game. Nothing wrong with that at all mind you. The rules are written in a narrative style ala Featherstone and others. Lots of good information with the design notes, history and interesting bits about the authors experience. Well worth it IMHO. John |

I didn't add the loaders out of laziness. I have been painting WWII for the last few years and waited these guys finished. Thanks for the kind comments. SonofThor
the bases range a little bit and are meant to be flexible to fit your taste. Having said that, I suggest 1.5 x 1.5 inch for squads and 1.25 x 1.25 inch for fire teams and HQ stands. Generally, speaking 2 to 3 figures per stand, unless your tired (Like I was) and go for 1 figure for the Bz team. The important issue in B&G is what is written on the stand's tactical label. Dave |
