I've been busy pt2

Here are the small forces of Early war German and British for Bolt Action I painted recently.

I'm not too fond of the plastics and my painting of them is less than optimal to say the least! 

And those Wargames Atlantic figure, while adequate, are not for me. I don't think they fit well. At least, mine don't.

But it's a minor project that is likely only to get a little bigger. The only reason it's likely to get a little bigger is because I made the mistake of building three figures with PIATs! Obviously, I might need a Panzer 3, 38T and or some armoured vehicles like the Hanomag or Puma. And all because of PIATs.

That isn't the only mistake I made. On a whim whilst in the local FLGS I saw the support section boxes for both nations and bought them. Then I found that they were later war versions. What to do? Use them as early war was the only option. Similar, but different. But not that different.

And I gave each section a 2" mortar when only the platoon HQ had one.

I was fortunate that my son bought four British riflemen from Empress games, which I was going to use for A VBCW, which are added to the British. I can use the whole British force for that game also now of course. Bonus!

It seems odd to me thinking of the LMG section for the British that they don't have a number two in the WA box. No bags or boxes of bren gun magazines. Even one arm with a magazine would have worked.

My little mistakes

Three PIATS and two additional 2" mortars. May count as reinforced platoon if heavily engaged
