Good looking collection. That was a trip down memory lane! Like you, we played FOW 1st & 2nd editions then bailed. O-Group might see us dusting the old toys off I guess!
Each base represents a Section if I’m not mistaken. The nomenclature obviously varies from army to army, (section v squad for example). Regardless a fantastic looking Kampfgrüppe for O Group. Well done 👍
They look great - I'm just assembling 20mm AB platoons for Chain of Command and, being used to 15mm AB Napoleonics, painting vehicles is a new experience for me! Yours look excellent.
Lol,.. yep. Only take 1 or 2 outraged and offended individuals and it’s a case of ‘thanks for coming’! Bloody sad isn’t it? Very nice Battalion Battlegroup. Thanks for sharing. I must crack in the my O Group forces and get a game going.
Unfortunately it's the world we live in. I can't risk my channel, small as it may be, I enjoy doing it. I must dig out my Soviets and do a quick vid on those too, thanks for watching😀
Nice video 👍 what scale is your stuff please? Don't worry about the air recognition flags...it just gives the good guys something to c**p on from a great height...
Is that an English or RU-vid thing about the markings on the vehicle? Without the proper representative markings on the vehicle I can wrongly assume they are Soviet vehicles. Isn’t that wrong?
No, not at all. The issue is the swastika. The german cross is on all the vehicles. personally i have no issue with seeing it, thats why i painted them on. However there are people out there who will look for things to be offended by. My channel is an important part of my hobby though, so i wont risk it being deleted or blocked. Were talking about toy soldiers after all. Cheers, Stig
@@stigofthedump181 Using the German Cross seems pretty standard these days, and my entire FoW German collection is also covered in them. Using the Swastika will be more problematic (on the tail of a model Stuka, say0 but fortunately German land forces generally did not use them as much. But political sensitivity is an issue the hobby may be increasingly facing - using the Confederate banner in ACW games, for example. Meanwhile, still waiting for the post to deliver my copy of O Group.
Are halftracks worth it in this game. Since platoons can't deploy off combat patrol in their vehicles, you might have to waste time driving in from the board edge.
Or use the AFV Consolidation Action, permitting an AFV platoon to deploy on a forward postion. So, with 3 x Orders you could have an entire halftrack company deployed well forward.
Do you get a lot of time to paint and play games? I have young kids myself and find it very tough to fit time in to paint/play. I’m hoping to start up a RU-vid channel in the future and also get the local town I’m living in to play more historical.
