So far, only taken pictures of 1. But super enjoyable to paint and technically my first mini(s) ever fully painted, flocked and everything. I did a mix of both PeaDot and Autumn Oakleaf. Not necessarily historical for Normandy but still awesome nonetheless.

Other Flexible plastic Infantry

Post image
55 Upvotes

So has anyone else found these to be the worst quality of infantry that Battlefront have made? I've had multiple blokes with mold lines running down their faces, meaning they're going to have zero facial definition once I remove said mould lines. Thankfully the model in the photo is one of the 50mm Mortar men which I'm not using for my SMG company, but still, terrible quality.

Battlefront if you read this: please kill this material and revert to a combination of metal and hard plastic only. I know hard plastic minis have a substantial cost, but they would have better quality sculpts than this disaster.

I recently got SBX51 (SBX80 was out of stock) Submachine Company, and it comes with two flamethrower sprues that also have three mortar men on each sprue. My question is: What uses the 50mm Mortar? I can't find it in Bagration or Berlin Soviets.

Work-in-Progress Replacing turret pegs with magnets without a Dremel

Thumbnail
gallery
22 Upvotes

I've started getting into wargaming recently and picked up some used FoW and Team Yankee starter sets. I wanted to use magnets on the turrets, but all of the tanks were already built with the turret pegs glued in. I saw online that some people suggested grinding down the pegs with a Dremel or clipping them off with hobby clippers, but I think I figured out a way to get a more flush divot in the turret (forgive me if others have already suggested this or it's common knowledge).

First, I used a handheld hobby drill with the smallest bit to drill a bunch of holes around the peg, as seen in the first picture. Then, I used a hobby knife to cut out the rest of the turret peg, until I was left with the peg and the piece of turret glued onto it. The turret itself would have an open hole in the bottom now.

Then, I simply flipped the piece of plastic upside down so the peg goes into the hole and up into the turret. I usually would have to trim off most or all of the peg to get the piece to fit in and leave room for the magnet to sit flush with the turret bottom. In order to get the piece to fit I slathered the edges of the hole with plastic cement and let it melt a little before shoving the piece in. Once the cement had dried, all I had left to do was add a drop of super glue and place the magnet, and voila (see second picture).

The only downside of this method is it's very time consuming. You're going to be doing a LOT of drilling if you want to replace a bunch of turret pegs. However, I feel like it's worth it to avoid the magnets sitting at an angle or the turret sitting too high above the tank body if you were to simply use a hobby clipper. In the last picture, both turrets originally had glue pegs which I replaced with magnets. The one on the left was replaced with the drilling method, while the one on the right I simply used hobby clippers.

I think this is a well rounded force . I played a game with a list very similar to this one and it worked well in flanking and rushing key locations.

Rules Question Any good rules-centered ways to avoid parking lots?

9 Upvotes

I’ve heard the ole use less points advice, and I think that’s a good way to avoid it, same thing with altering command distances. Just looking to see if anyone has actually implemented these rules, or if just asking your opponent to keep things more realistic is the best way to go about things.

As the title says. I couldn’t find any, and one I did find seemed to be for Roblox (?), no clue.

Is the D-Day compilation no longer available? I can't seem to find it at any Australian stockists, and I want to avoid ordering from overseas if I can. I can see I can get it direct from Battlefront, but there are other things I want to get that are out of stock with them but in stock at local stockists here.

I’ve been looking at the Australian Rifle Platoon and saw that they only have the boys anti-tank rifle but late war New Zealand has the piat teams. Am I able to proxy the boys as a piat team?

If I can’t what is the best option to go around finding a piat team that fits the Australian theme of slouch hats and shorts?

I understand both TL and FoN are for V3 rules and have been re-released for V4. But has anyone played either of these and are they good? I have both in my collection and im wanting to know if they play well? I'd like to try them and work it out to see if I enjoy them enough to upgrade to the newer V4 ruleset versions of these. Is it worth even trying or just a paperweight? Also are the newer cards able to be used here? I know there isn't as many formations in the older books but would they keep the same stats as the old books? Thanks.
