The Russians are coming - WWII in 54mm


10 units of infantry

Supported by machine guns...
a 80mm mortar

Grenade throwers..

Snipers...

and the  PTRD 41: The Simple Soviet Antitank Rifle of WWII (>400.000 were produced)
It was very effective against teh side armour of Mark II and Mark IV tanks and was the main reason these type of tanks received extra side armour.

And artillery


and Flame Thrower




Officers,  commissars.....

And tanks. 

The blanks used in our About Pattons games.

  2. Hi Brian. I fact, i"m writing my own rule system: some explenations in a previous post :
    https://pmcd-mobilisatie.blogspot.com/2018/09/somewhere-in-normandy-44-about-patton.html
    The guns are one Italeri (also all crew) and a Solido/

    The rule will be called About Patton. Base is the same as the other "About" rules (About Caesar, About Bonaparte, About Cromwell) Special dice for combat and command. Modern combat is far more complex, and took me some time to come to something that works with a reality feeling. If you like a pdf from the work in progress, just give a sign .
