Blitzkrieg!

The latest additions to the 1940 project, 1/72nd kits from The Plastic Soldier Company.

First up some rather natty A9 Cruiser tanks for the BEF.

Next some Czech 38T light tanks for the Whermacht.

I am currently painting up the second squad of German infantry then I will start on the second section of British infantry. First there is a little of matter if some earlier Huns to get finished off.

Until next time........KBO

Goths March Ever Onward

Dave arrived today to once again command the Gothic hordes has they push the Roman field armies back into the Empire.

Once again the gods appear to have blunted the Roman weapons and the Goths continue their advance further across the Empire.

On the left the first Roman cavalry unit is destroyed, their supports valiantly fight on.

The Roman cataphracts are left out on a limb 

The Roman cavalry are pushed back further but do not break, if they are pushed back next time they will be off the table and deemed destroyed.

Over on the other flank the Roman auxiliaries are put to flight.

The Roman centre holds firm but with it's flanks crumbling a withdrawal is ordered.

Another defeat for the Roman field force, it appears the gods have deserted them yet again, but then again it could just be me in command 😂
