Battlegroup German Pioneers

 I have enjoyed playing Battlegroup so much that I have  started painting up a force of German Pioneers with Stug support. I’m using the Barbarossa supplement. I had the Infantry in stock and have bought some Stugs and a Panzer IV. A mixture of Battlefront and Zvezda models. A Stuka in 144th scale works well IMHO.

Am working on some Opel Blitz trucks, 2cm AA and pak38 guns.

I have also bought quite a few Russian Infantry, tanks and supports quite cheaply secondhand.

Time passes so quickly

 Well I am embarrassed to say that I have completely forgotten about my Blog for the last year. I have been rather busy gaming more than usual but posting on Twitter. 

DBMM has been my main interest and I had been quite successful due to beginners luck, I suspect. Sadly I have not won a game with my Ancient Brits since April as I think my opponents have worked out to how to take my mass of troops out. My usual tactic is to mass my foot troops in the centre and have Cavalry and Chariots on the wings.


I have also had a few games of Chain of Command and 0200 hours. 


I have also started a Roman DBMM Army.



I’ve had a couple of games of Battlegroup in 15mm so have bought some books and have looked at using my elderly 20mm collection with the rule set.





I will try and add more posts but the interaction here is very low compared to Twitter (I can’t call it that new name). I am seeing if it is easier to post using my phone as that’s how I now take photos.
