Two PSC 15mm Early War German sprue 'B' (yes, that's the one with the 50mm) purchased on eBay for a couple of quid each, and two Flames of War Light Mortar Team (Greatcoat) (GSO173) for equally little money, which gets me four 50mm mortars in total and a whole bunch of assorted figures in various degrees of ratty you're-last-on-the-upgrade-list uniforms as befits the Atlantic Wall.
Amusing note, on the page for the FoW team it says "by 1941 it clearly lacked the firepower and range to remain effective in a frontline role. Instead, existing models were relegated into service with auxiliary units where it remained in service until the end of the war."
Ok, Battlefront, so you're busy doing loads of D-Day stuff for FoW V4. Why no defence troops for the Atlantic Wall bundled so I don't have to buy entire platoons, then? Nice selection of MG gunners in Tobruks, 50mms and other odds and sods in a box, maybe? (Yes, I know I'm not using them for FoW... but I have bought over 500 of your figures for this game!)
Going to curl up with volume 2 of yesterday's audiobook later.

I'm guessing that a bundle like that would fit in the D-Day lists for most the the WW2 games (FoW, BA, etc). So it would probably sell a reasonable amount.
ReplyDeleteIf the third party sellers were actually in it for their customers, they'd do it, but most of them are only really interested in shifting bulk. Oh well.
