February 2014 – General Whiskers' semi-historical wanderings

New page started for Operation Sealion

I have just added a new page to the blog to report the activities in my solo campaign of the invasion of Britain in 1940. (Yes, another resurrected project!).

Nothing pretty there yet, but I hope to rectify that as I go along.

Confused? I am

At some point in the past I have picked up, probably from a bring and buy at a Wargame show, a German DFS230 glider in 1:300 scale.

So why is it painted with allied 1944 invasion black/white stripes? Recovered from Holland in 1940, returned to the UK and repainted for use in 1944? I think probably not :-).

So, when the new models arrive for my “Operation Sealion” campaign, it will be added to the pile of lead and at some point repainted.

First Panzer Division force complete – or is it?

I have updated The Second World War Game page with my lack of progress in preparing forces for the first battle.
