I mentioned before that I got some time on Saturday. Apart from setting up the trees, I also managed to finish prepping a battalion while reading some stuff on then Internet (OK, I was looking for some information somewhere else in Thomo’s Hole).
The organisation I am using for Blitzkrieg Commander II, the rules I am using, is 12 bases per battalion, three battalions per regiment. This compares to the 9 bases per battalion of the Russians.
I’m also going to mix up as many different types of infantry on the bases as I can for variety, and because it looks so good.
The bases contain a mix of standard infantry, some officer looking chaps just standing to attention (why do you make figures like that GHQ, in a mix of other figures in action poses?) as well as some light machine gunners and Type 89 grenade launchers. They are the things that look a bit like a small trench mortar.
Lastly, a close up of the 20mm anti-aircraft bases. Gunner plus truck for transport.
Figures for the infantry are all GHQ, the 20mm AA and trucks are from Ros and Heroics.
Looking good.. and lucky you have Russians to face them, as painting the dots on US Marines in this scale would be a nightmare.

Indeed. The only way I would do marine camo is with a toothbrush flicking the paint on the figure that way, then the only dot I need to do is the face 😉
