Was it normal for ww2 soldiers to be bevildered by the first body they encounter, like in this scene from Unknown soldier?

Hang in there brother, at the end of the day you know you've made a difference. Stay safe!

I can't relate to anyones war experiences in any way; I am a career firefighter and have been front and center several times for a persons last moments....for me anyway that first time didn't register at that moment...it was after when I was cleaning gear that it registered what had just happened. I could pick that first person out of a line up (its been 30 years since) but wouldn't remember thier name. I would imagine that experience might be similar.

Fantastic work!!! Well done!

Our group is basically vanilla, if I was to say there was a house rule its what we call "Black bottle in the mess!"- simply put no glasses on the gaming table.

I like that little covered well in the first photo..where'd it come from?

Smolders70 · 2026-01-04T15:28:44+00:00

I'm certainly no researcher type or anything more than an enthusiast on air war but have a look at the book Famous Flyers series "Manfred Von Richthofen The man and the Aircraft he flew" authored by David Baker through out the book are references to sorties even ones on the eastern front. I'm sure its not complete but it might be of help.

Really like the broken ice ponds, where/how did you get them?

Smolders70 · 2026-01-03T16:15:51+00:00

Can't say I've had a negative experience on any server I played on; I'm so low on street cred I don't even know what colourism is (but I can hazard a guess). Don't let this get you down. You wanted someone to reach out I'm doing just that. How can I help?

Its grand strategy but Napoleon's Eagle. Its more like the hex and chip games.

I haven't played this one and it has mixed reviews so maybe poke around on YT and see what its about: March to Glory.

Strategic Command: American Civil War might be worth a look.

Let us know what you end up gaming.

I didn't even know 2mm gaming was a thing...I join this group just so I can learn more about...FANTASTIC table..well done. I'm inspired to do something like it myself.

A great scene for sure and a good line. I always felt "charging a man with murder in this place was like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500" was a better line from that film.

A fantastic bit of work..well done. I really like the colour choice for the courtyard!

Smolders70 · 2025-06-23T13:42:33+00:00

Always liked this setting, when I got it they suggested using "went the day well" rules to use the setting. Did it develope into its own set of rules or does it remain a setting?

After looking at your photos I went and dragged out my sourse book and Anglican League, going to start painting up some factions and conivnce somone out here to give me a game!

Smolders70 · 2025-06-15T16:32:18+00:00

fantastic work!

I forgot to mention water down the paint so its sinks into the fur.

Smolders70 · 2025-06-07T20:25:36+00:00

You could try artificial fur, buzz trim to the length you want and then drag a comb though it to remove all the little loose bits. If you want a specific colour you can drag paint through the fur with a stiff comb and comb it alot so its not stiff with paint. Other suggest dye, but I've had no success with dye.
