Our club is having a a Chain of Command Gamesday on April 26th. Three of us have committed to putting on games and I thought it would be a good idea to play games in 3 scales just to show to gamers that CoC is not scale dependent. One of us has 15mm platoons and 2 of us have 20mm platoons. We did however as an early club project, paint up the Band of Brothers boxset from Warlord Games which contained German Grenadiers and American Airborne. I felt that with some additional figures, I could put on a 28mm game using these figures. I am limited by the fact that I have very little 28 WWII terrain but after some thought I decided to put on a Hurtgenwald game which in most cases just requires forests of which I have plenty.
CoC2 has platoon composition for a Volksgrenadier Platoon so I decided to go with this but after Graham checked the club figure count, I could see that I was short 8 STG-44 armed figures. I really did not want to spend any money on Warlord Games figures as I am not interested in collecting a 28mm WWII army and these figures would end up being a club donation. But I did have STLs for the Hurtgenwald campaign from the RKX kickstarter. There were 3 different STG-44 armed figures so I printed off 8 of these on my Elegoo 4k resin printer.
The figures themselves are appropriately sculpted but I found that they printed with somewhat weak details. I am not sure if this was due to my printer resolution. I did find them somewhat difficult to paint because of this, but I soldiered on and ended up with this. They will do for the gamesday!
We are planning to do 2 games each on the same terrain but with different scenarios. I have decided to go with the Probe and the Attack and Defend scenarios. The first scenario requires minimal support but the 2nd scenario does have a significant requirement so I suspect I will be painting up a few more figures.
