Bob does Weird War

I hadn’t really any plans for this year’s Spring Challenge and hadn’t really considered it much even when I decided to re jump.into the Konflikt 47 with its re-launch. I had a few bits brought a few years ago sitting partly built and painted .The original plan was to build the new American Airborne forces , and the German Powered Armoured units. I was planning to build a British force, and will be getting the Robot Infantry. But digging through boxes realised I have a ton of both Dust and Secret of 3rd Reich, which is actually painted which includes a platoon of Infantry, a squad of powered Armour Infantry including re-oncarnation of Arthur, courtesy of West Wind, plus a plethora of Walkers from Dust, all painted up as 11th Armoured. In addition I have an equivalent no of German Walkers via Dust. One example of my current collection is the Projects cover photo of a DUST mech, which had to be taken about 18 years ago.

All should be easily designed and fitted in to the background, having quickly scanned the rules.

Now obviously they won’t be totally cannon , but I don’t play tournaments, and as I tend to play narrative driven games , getting points balanced won’t be a big problem.

So Now the plan is to gig them out and add them to my new models, with a bit of re-painting and tidying up. Most of it will be wintering them all, as I intend to continue my Winter War theme fro my Bulge Project. Which with the weird weather that the wars wonder weapons produce is the most likely weather encounter in most of the European battle settings.

So here are some examples of my older figures that will need some wintering.

Now how did these compare scale wise with the new slightly larger Konflikt 47. Judge for your self.

From table distances doubt if anyone will notice. The slight raised bases on the older figures hide a lot.

Won’t stop me buying a couple of sets of the new Galahad Armoured British as they will do nicely for SAS/Commando’s.
