My Insanity Continues...



Ok sports fans... I spent a day going over the D-1 lists and came up with my painting list. Since the internal organization of British Airlanding platoons doesn't change between mid and late-war, I just need to make a few support changes to morph the company from one period to the next.

I will also pick up a Typhoon or two for airpower.

I think I have enough figures to make four airlanding platoons...I can always use the extra to bump up the points or use them as engineers. I could also use the extra teams to swap out the light mortars and field parachute platoons if necessary.

Time to go clean and prep the miniatures...
Tomorrow, same bat time, same bat channel...

Tim, they call him...
