1 squad of 15mm Fallschirmjäger

Took a brief break from the great northern war and finished up a squad of german Fallschirmjäger that have been sitting on my workbench for the whole spring. I just need to finish another squad and the paltoon hq to have completed my "set" of paratroopers, already having finished the British and US.

A new project: Nam'68

  Oooof, it has been a long time since I last updated this blog hasn't it. Well I'm back, and maybe this new project will keep me posting here. As a long time fan of Warwick Kinrade's excellent ww2 ruleset Battlegroup, I was very much intrigued by his latest new ruleset, Nam'68. It sure reads like something I haven't tried before, especially the way it creates non-symmetrical battles. It will be some time before I'm ready to set up a game.

Command was then given to the Lieutenant general Jørgen Ranztau (ca 1652 –1713) merely 14 days before the battle which would prove to be decisive for the entire danish invasion effort. Rantzau himself was a experienced army officer to say the least, who began his military service before Reventlow was even born, serving abroad as well as in the Scanian wars. After Denmark's disastrous entry and swift exit from the great northern war (March...
