Willy's Jeep - Part 2 of 2

Today a short update. I managed to get the crew for the Willy's jeep finished. I found these Rubicon models a bit more difficult than usual to paint, they seemed a bit rough and not as pronounced. I am not the greatest painter so I need all the help I can get from the models!

Had a lot of fun with this little project though!

Chain of Command Rule Book (image courtesy of Too Fat Lardies) At this stage, Chain of Command only covers the main combatants of the European Theatre but there have been some efforts to branch out to the more esoteric with army lists produced for Japanese, Italians and Belgians. Chain of Command varies a little from some of the more commercial games on the market in a few ways. Firstly it is partially without a points system. The core platoons are devised by actual structural organisation and training of that nation for that time period. Balancing in the game is then taken care of by 'support points' in which the nation with the weaker base organisation can take a few extra things to even up the battle.

German Infantry

Just a quick few pictures of the first miniatures of my German force for Italy. Most of the miniatures are not highlighted yet, but I wanted to get through them more quickly so I could start playing some campaigns.
