12mm WWII for D-Day to Berlin

When I got back a few weeks ago from Carnage Con 27 carnagecon.com in Killington Vt. I decided to stop all of my painting and to finish up and organize the three eras that I game. They are WWII with D-Day to Berlin link The Seven Years War with Twilight of the Soldier Kings and The American Revolution using Live Free or Die.

I chose D-Day to Berlin first as I had put a lot of effort into painting up the troops needed for for Omaha and Utah beaches scenario that I ran at Carnage (thanks to Ken for stepping in). I had decided prior to the convention to go totally 12mm. I can print the armor and vehicles in 12mm no problem but though I tried very hard to get good looking printed infantry but I wasn't happy so I bought 12mm miniatures from Victrix. I purchased nearly all of the from The Hobby Bunker in Wakefield MA link A great shop with a very interesting history starting out as Excalibur hobbies in Arlington Mass back in I think the 1970's.

Well back to my troops. I picked up one pack when I stopped by and after painting them I decided to commit and placed a mail order to them online. Yes I can drive there in an hour but I was to busy. They got the order to me in just a few days and shipping was very reasonable. The other major point is Matt (the owner) doesn't mark them up like so many places 🙂

While I was finishing these off I decided to label the units (stands) so the player would know what division they were part of and when necessary what type of unit they were. ENG is engineer, REC is recon etc.

Nice looking force. I no longer do WW2 in 12mm but if I did I'd be getting those Victrix infantry in a heartbeat

Thank you and yes they are good stuff :)
