"New 15mm Skirmish and 3mm WWII and Moderns" Topic

All,

In honor of TMP's new board (gotta love new boards, right?), I bring you this post. Actually, it just sort of matched up with what I had going on. I've been working on various units for 15mm WWII and modern skirmish forces. I'm nowhere near done, but I had a bunch that were painted but waiting on basing, so I decided to sit down and finally put the finishing touches on them. Quite a few of these forces are not new, but are simply an expansion of previously completed forces. For example, a couple months ago I bought, painted, based, and posted a QRF Modern French force. But then I decided it wasn't big enough, so I went and got another dozen or so troops and had to take them from start to finish to complete the platoon. Quite a bit of what I finished up was that sort of thing, though there were also a few new forces which, as is my custom, will get their own blog post.

Here's my big box of skirmish platoons, with the new forces and the previously finished forces that I added to.

And then, for something totally different, I went 3mm. I have Ben Lacy's "Operation Jupiter" scenario book, a fantastic collection of about 30 tabletop scenarios pitting Brits vs Germans near Caen in 1944. My son and I have been playing these, having completed eight fights to date in 10mm and 15mm. For some reason I got a wild hair and decided I wanted to give it a go in 3mm. I absolutely love these things, so quick to get ready; it took me maybe four hours to clean, prime, paint, wash, and base these guys.

So, that's what I got done last weekend. As I mentioned, all new forces shown above will have a separate blog entry to showcase the force with closeups of everything. Meanwhile, the boy and I are set to embark upon a new campaign, I think you're gonna like it!

Well, you were busy. Good work there! I especially like the 3mm stuff too, I have a collection for Iran-Iraq War.

Yeah, it's taken awhile, but I'm glad to have all the 15mm stuff finished up, and the 3mm is a breeze.

Iran-Iraq War, I need to look into it for 3mm. Any good books to read up on it?

Dude, you're a machine!

Thanks Darb, and go check out my WWII Philippines batrep, I think you'll dig it. I got my Christmas present ;)

Jack ! .. just saw this ; you really are a force of nature wrt to 'getting sh#% done' .
I remember you saying about your project to paint troops up for several modern theatres , but didn't think I'd see them side-by-side . ..fantastic.
