The Bolt Action WW2 British & Germans

I've been slowly painting the Heroic & Ros WW2 British and Germans and have based all except the German platoon HQ's and a walking panzerschreck team. Solely because I ran out of 20mm bases.
The painting is fairly basic and the flocking may hide them too well. But I will know what's what (I will write it under the base, just in case).
The British
5 Infantry sections
1 platoon HQ
1 Lieutenant
1signaller
1 Sergeant
1 Orderly
3 PIAT teams, 2 prone, 1 advancing
3 2" mortar teams, prone
3 Grant tanks
1 Sherman Firefly
The Germans
5 Panzer IVF1'S
5 Rifle squads
1 120mm mortar team
2 Panzerschreck teams
3 MG teams, prone
I decided to go with the tank formations I found online despite the advantage it may give the Germans at some point.
But, already I am thinking of adding 4 Infantry sections/squads to each army to bring them to company level. That is partly because the supports, piats, mortars etc. are company level in quantity.
I might add some transport also.
In reserve, are the Germans I bought on eBay. Quite a considerable force which I will show on my next posting. The were already paintedwhen I bought them . I may use these as is, but I'm more likely to repaint and base them.
Thanks for dropping by.
