French 1944 to 1945

As you may have seen from my earlier post I have been working on a French 1944-45 Late-war army for Flames Of War. I'm using the Battle Weary Rifle Company from Bulge American and some of the French specific command cards from the Bulge: American command card pack to field them.

The Rifle Platoons are from the OP French Tirailleurs Platoon that came out many years ago with the 3rd Ed Road To Rome compilation. I've used Winter American for most of the other units with some Early War French officers and a few head swaps for Adrian Helmets and Kepis.

I've just finished a third Rifle Platoon and have a M4A4 Tank Platoon and a M1A1 105mm howitzer battery lined up to paint next.

A New Blog, the first post

My current website over at www.khanage.net.nz has moved hosts and frankly the cost and hassle of setting it all up again has made me decide to move to a blog. I can do most of the things I was doing on my website on a blog. So this is where I'll be. The above website is likely to disappear at some point, unless the people at crazy domains convince me otherwise.

The theme of the blog will be my wargames projects. I'll update it with posts as I have something new and interesting to post. I have a few things waiting for photographs and I'll post those once they are done.

What have I been up to? Well, here in Auckland we had another Covid-19 lockdown over September, so I couldn't go to work or do much else other than paint. I've painted some 28mm 1870 Bavarians, started some 28mm Crimean War French Line infantry, and some 15mm 1944-45 World War II French.
