So, I've finally managed to sit down and start pointing up what I own, what I need to paint and what I need to buy. Originally my collection was intended for Op Squad, and fortunately my Op squad list has translated almost directly into Bolt Actions German Veteran Grenadiers squads from the book Armies of Germany.
As my chaps already sport winter uniforms (and too many automatic weapons to be used as early war troops until I get some more riflemen) I'll be using them as late war troops for the western offensive of the winter of 1944-1945. Operation: Watch on the Rhine, better known as the Ardennes Offensive or the 'Battle of the Bulge'.
For as little as £5.40 (the cost of a MG42 on tripod from Artizan) my force is ready to go at 500 points. I've decided this will be my year for really diving into WW2. Will be looking to get some games in asap if anyone is interested.
Spending a bit of christmas money to order some extra packs of riflemen as well, so I can use my force to represent the mid war winter siege at Leningrad and take on Brians dirty ruskies!
