I decided to use my Peter Pig gift voucher to build a Nationalist force for the For Whom the Dice Rolls project, to go up against the Republican Mixed Brigade I gathered together last year but didn't start on. The force I've ordered consists of two regular infantry battalions and a Falange bandera, together with some supporting artillery attached including a mortar battery with infantry gun, a battery of light field guns and possibly at AT gun, for which I'll have to raid the spares box. I also ordered a unit of 'Assaltos' or Assault Guards to add to my Republicans, as all this right wing stuff made me nervous. This is a fairly compact force, representing a mobile column, but it can easily be added to if I want to make it larger, with some more infantry, some artillery and a few captured tanks being an obvious place to start
Nice selection. Kudos for resisting temptation to go all Foreign Legion. BTE There are a few 3D print firms doing the Bilbao APC/Armoured car now to go with the Asaltos.
ReplyDeleteI always prefer the bog standard stuff over the top notch units..just seems more realistic. I'll check out the Blibao for the Assaltos, now that QRF don't make one ny more.
DeleteLook forward to seeing them painted up
ReplyDeleteMe too...later this year if it all goes to plan?
