Chain Of Command: German Force

Of course it would be a little tricky to play a WWII skirmish game in Northern Europe without some Germans, so here they are. I found the Vallejo German uniform paint a little dense, so despite using a wash they were also drybrushed to bring out some extra detail. I do not know enough now about German orders of battle, but I am sure this platoon will eventually get identified. Again the details of the platoon structure for Chain of Command were obtained from the TFL Yahoo site.

German Grenadier Platoon
  • Platoon Leader (MP40)
  • Panzerschrek team (2 men)
  • 3 sections of ten men each: an NCO (MP40), a LMG Team: MG42, 2 crew 2 riflemen and a Rifle team: Five riflemen (one with Panzerfaust)


All PSC miniatures
Platoon Leader and Panzerschrect team
Rifle Section
Heavy weapons support
Jump off markers and a couple of AFV's
Well that finishes off my WWII painting adventure, I may add the occasional support weapon, but I think that is probably it. I certainly enjoyed painting these 20mm figures, they are just perfect for what I wanted to do.

Well I have a unit of Brunswickers on the painting table, and I have just put in an order for a new small skirmish band, which I am looking forward to painting. Any guesses?

    Very, very close Ferb. I am awaiting the book and plan to paint a buntai, but have the figures on hand, so I am referring to another era for which I have just ordered a 200 pt force.

    Excellent work, only to note that mortar support will be off-table in CoC

    Very nice - and the funny thing is that I am painting a few old Artizan German atm to get a game with some old work-mate going.
