    1. As many factions as you like: Blackshorts, regular army, RAF regiment, Marines, Guards, ILP Marxists, communists, independent groups run by landowners/capitalists, mercenaries, nationalists, gangsters.....etc, etc.

      I have yet to write the rules but have a few ideas. :)

    1. Plastic slotta bases bought cheap from independents via eBay, glue soldier on with Loctite all purpose, milliput around the edge of the base to smooth it, paint, add static grass with while glue, Vallejo matt varnish and Voila!

    1. There is such an enormous range and choice of 1/72 at ridiculously low prices that it's a no-brainer decision.

    1. Never forget Archbish Runcie MC, ex tank commander, who knocked out three AT Guns in '45. Rumoured to be nicknamed 'killer' by his colleagues in the army.

  5. Hi John
    This being the British Army it was probably meant to be ironic; although the german anti tank gunners probably didn't see it that way
