Hi guys, remember that a few weeks back we were talking photos taken during the Ardennes Offensive? We said that a few of the photos showing SS advancing...
Things have slowed down some in the sculpting department. I am busy doing home repairs and remodeling. I have a very short time to prepare and I am only one...
J- Summer can be like this. I have to go visit family up north for a week .. so at some point here my 'line' will go dead as well. Do what you have to, enjoy...
B- Ah ... once again ... its hard to tell sometimes. We'll have to get a hold of the FBI's photo enhancement software etc. :-) On a similar note, I've seen...
Hi Tony, thanks for the info. Do I buy from them direct? They only list sources on the page you gave me. Cheers, Burkhard ... [Non-text portions of this...
I think not even the FBI software would help much. The reason why I stumbled over it is that the bok shows a number of big photographs of US and German weapons...
Burkhard, If I remember, those series of photographs were taken around the destroyed vehicles of the 14th Cavalry in the opening days of the Battle of the...
... I've seen the film clips, and have some other pics from that locale in other books that plainly show it as the M1 carbine. It's not a G41. The G41 is...
Chad and Larry, thanks for your input on this. I just wanted to hear if people thought that it might be a G41 instead of a M1 Carbine (therefore the maybe in ...
Larry, it is often funny to see photos of German units. They used everything they could get their hands on. On D-Day US Airborne troops destroyed a number of...
B- They probably were just too pressed for time and fire-power to even have time to care. Like folks desperately trying to put out the fire in their house with...
I am working on some wermacht troops. Having only painted Luftwaffe in the past, I dont know what color to paint the shoulder boards on these troops. IS it...
Andy, it is dark green (as for the collar). piping depends on the type of unit. White would be Inf.. Cheers, Burkhard ... [Non-text portions of this message...
A good source is the English THEN AND NOW series of magazines and books, as the authors go through the pictures and then attempt to locate EXACTLY where the...
Hi Tony, that is about what I feared. I wonder if in the end when the Reich was only a few kilometres wide, one could find these kinds of engagements. That...
You are welcome Andy, here are the piping colours for you in case you do not want to do "just" infantry: infantry = white Jäger / light Inf. = light green ...
I have never heard of intermingled or intermixed vehicle attacks on either front and I think the main reason is supply. Why ship a T-34 thousands of miles to...
... Burkhard, No pressure. I'm looking forward to whatever you can finish and bring with you. I just found more unfinished VFM figures, bringing my total # ...
Burkhard, I am assuming that the mortar crews are infantry and not artillery, but guess I should check before painting them... I also assume a medic would be...
Andy, you are definitely right on the mortars! When it comes to the medics... I would say that this depends on where he is attached. As far as I know the...
Mike, I only work under pressure! But it looks good. My best guesstimate would be another 3 to 4 hours for painting the minis plus some time for decorating the...
Aloha everybody, I just discovered the Victory Force Website. I gotta say Im impressed. I been searching for several months looking for company that does US...
Chase, Welcome to the group. I started out with EEE Battleground, BTD, and some 1st Corps figures. I really have only good things to say about the VFM figures....
... Chase, I use my own rules. I'm writing them for publication. They are called "WWII, The Hard Way" in case you ever see them years from now :-) I've played...
Hi Chase, welcome to the group! When it comes to the casting quality... I think it is top notch. You hardly get any flesh or misalignment of the mould (I have...
Chase, I've had pretty much the same experience as Mike and Burkhard. I looked long and hard before I made my foray into WW2 28mm. What sold me on VFM was...
I'm going to be useing Battleground WWII whenever I get around to buying it. "I use my own rules. I'm writing them for publication. They are called ... So how...
