Engagement with the hobby goes back and forwards just like the war waged across the Libyan plain. What better way to get back into painting than a few 15mm tanks as the start of an Afrika Korps force?

They are mostly Plastic Soldier Company. Assembled and, with the help of a rattle-can, base coated many years ago.




Like many hobbyists, I like to have opposing forces. I still might do an Italian force, but for now I’m a step closer to having the start of a DAK force that matches my desert themed Australians.


I have no idea when this DAK force will get finished or what I will ultimately add, but that doesn’t matter. These are done and that makes me happy for now.
A nice force building up there, Dave – I like them! π And a good choice of technical phrases – “longer barrel thingy”!

Great work. Agree with doing both sides. If you use Flames of War I have a pile of books you can have. Just let me know.
BTW, although my German is very rusty I didn’t think “etwas lΓ€ngeres Fass” was a military term, but you live and learn!

It is a fairly loose translation, I agree; It’s more of the vibe.
Very generous on the book offer. I have have a set of second ed books that cover my interests. (Old) Wargamers are hard to please aren’t we?
