I once filed off a "lump" on several German tanks before realising it was part of the model. Recently I was mystified by a detail on a figure in the WOSS artillery crew; it may be the bow of a sash, a flask or some unknown tool. I have gone with the former for painting purposes and "solved" the problem by placing the figures against the guns in such a way the detail is hidden.kevin halloranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10836302345952439069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212274495968887704.post-30210274532678832422019-11-26T19:30:32.288+00:002019-11-26T19:30:32.288+00:00Many thanks for that link Kevin.

There are hundreds of scenarios listed relating to various games in the PG series but they can easily be played with miniatures: I use them only for the maps and OOB. Scroll down for example to Eastern Front, click on any scenario in the list and then click Display Order of battle and everything is there. They also contains useful brief overviews of how the actual battle went.kevin halloranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10836302345952439069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212274495968887704.post-78579223561279815142019-11-26T10:17:01.245+00:002019-11-26T10:17:01.245+00:00Nope.

In an ideal world our hobby would be of such a size that it could support Rob and others to rapidly expand their ranges. Unfortunately our preference for 6mm forms a small part of a relatively small hobby. I am now looking for a suitable Russian front scenario to begin a Russian collection. I will purchase from Rob what I need and when painted up I will then switch to other projects to continue until figures are available to complete the Russian one. Hopefully that makes sense! I am doing that with some of my other WW2 projects which supports manufacturers and keeps me with plenty to do.<br /><br />Jon Bleasdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269994831030361551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212274495968887704.post-14288727398420453952019-11-26T07:05:42.883+00:002019-11-26T07:05:42.883+00:00Jon, I completely understand Rob's position an...Jon, I completely understand Rob's position and my comments about release schedule were not meant in any way as a criticism of 2D6.

The Russian front was always on my to-do list but kept getting put back. Having just finished painting up the figures today ready for basing it has fired me up!
