A few pics from some little test games I have doing to try some scenarios out and the new terrain. Couple of pics from a Battlegroup Overlord scenario I'm testing… Its one of several for a short campaign set during the Rückmarsch after Normandy. Here British troops enter a French town and are engaged by enemy sniper fire and units of a mobile flak company thrown out as a hasty rearguard…
The town doing its best to look like Warsaw…

what make/ scale are the figs ?? |

Most of Piers' troops and vehicles are 20mm, I think. Although they are painted so well they look like 28mm!! |
| nazrat | 15 Dec 2015 11:09 a.m. PST |
The buildings are from Wikkywok on eBay, and everything is 20mm. The figures are from a variety of manufacturers but I'll let Piers say what's there since I can only identify Elheim and a few AB for sure. |

Knowing those are 20mm makes me even more impressed. I thought that was gorgeous 28mm work! |

And the worst thing about it is that he is too nice to hate. Lovely work as always Piers really like the early war stuff. Fatman |

Cheers chaps… Buildings are custom made by my chum Russell who does sell on Ebay. Great guy to deal with. Figures are from lots of 20mm companies! |

Awesome as always Piers, I have bought a few resin Airfix buildings, but as I'm not a terrain guy, I have been stalling on doing them, I hope they turn out even half as good as yours, when I get the balls to attempt them. |

Interesting use of what looks like loose scatter-able bricks.What are those made from and are they loose I wonder? My first thought was aquarium ballast if that makes sense. |

Nice job mate. How did you do the burnt out tank? Looks pretty neat. |

Makes you want to reach for the dice, then decide nah I'll just stand here with a cup of tea and admire.

"Interesting use of what looks like loose scatter-able bricks.What are those made from and are they loose I wonder?" From other posts he has made-- it is dyed kitty litter. I have done the same but used spray paint on it since Piers never got around to a tutorial (hint hint!). Stinks a bit for a while but the paint smell eventually wears off. |

Thanks Nazrat,that's something to consider doing. |
| PiersBrand | 16 Dec 2015 2:38 a.m. PST |
Yer… Its dyed cat litter. Dyed with acrylic paint. Easy to do and very effective. Unless you have a cat… Who may then take a dump on your rubble. |

Very nice indeed. Super scenery and great photography. Good camera angles getting in on the action. Chris |
