Anyone know of a source for WW2 Belgians in 15mm? I'm trying to make a Chain of Command Belgian 1940 force, but I'm having trouble sourcing the D.B.T. launchers and SMG troops. List found here: http://toofatlardies.co.uk/blog/?p=1890

Are there any rulesets around that work well for very small numbers WWII combat? I'm starting a modeling project doing up a few German and French infantry and a tank for each from 1940 and it would be cool to be able to play armymen with them.

lilljonas posted:How many are "a few"? Vanilla Chain of Command is made for playing one platoon vs. one platoon plus support, which is genereally 30-40 men with maybe an AT gun, a tank, or some engineers with a flamethrower or whatever. It even works with reduced strength platoons: we started learning the game with platoons where we left out one squad on each side. I'm modeling Tamiya 1/35 so a platoon is quite a bit more than I'm willing to spend. I'm thinking maybe a rifle team or something similar per side max. I've looked at Bolt Action as a possibility, but I'm kind of hoping there's some obscure ruleset out there that works better.

That seems like what I'm looking for, but it also appears to be an OOP Warlord Games product? I can find a blogpost on their site about it, but links to the store are dead. Thank for the lead!

I wish more gaming companies/gamers were into cute early war tanks.

DiHK posted:Does CoC ever get played in 1/35? I've got some tamiya models/troopers sitting around; my original plan was to build a diorama but dual purposing my gerrys would be pretty cool too. I asked a similar question earlier as I'm modeling some Tamiya myself, and a couple suggestions were Operation Squad and Crossfire. I feel like small engagements fits 1/35 better maybe. I bought the rules for Operation Squad from this link and the rules seem pretty solid with ready-made stats for late war Germans, British, Russians, and Americans. lilljonas posted:If you are down with a digital copy, it's available on Wargame Vault:

lilljonas posted:A clubmate bought the rules, and I got and bought a box of French infantrymen and a box of Dragoons from Perry. I still haven't read the book, but he confirmed to me that it would be more than enough for Sharp Practice. It's just 1/35 is just such a great scale to build in and most 1/35 infantry don't have the weird "heroic scale" golem proportions going on.

Did they really not mix the two styles of winter uniform very much? Even the Tamiya kits seem to mix great coats and the padded jackets.

Not quite sure why no one would resell the sprues, but I don't think they're playable in those small of numbers so maybe that's it? Or possibly that the box is pretty cheap already, so 1/6 sprues wouldn't be a very good margin.

StashAugustine posted:Need a bit of advice here- I'm working on objective markers for Saga using livestock and shepherds, I can fit a couple onto a base but so far my usual process for metals with the cast on base is to glue to base, apply basing material, then prime and paint; and it looks to be kind of a pain to do that with multiple models on a base This is a little involved but when I don't want the cast base I tend to snip off everything except for the material beneath one foot, cut/file that down into a peg, and drill a hole into the base to run the peg through. It's like pinning without having to fiddle with matching holes. A big drill bit is crucial though so you don't have to do a lot of shaping.

I haven't bought a box but I've had my eye on Great Escape Games' Gunfighters I & Gunfighters II for cowboy games.
