Well, 15mm is happening.

 Well, I managed to find a good deal on a set of PSC WW2 British infantry. The pack contains enough figures for a company of infantry. If I follow my 3/2/1 basing as I do with 6mm then I have enough bases to put just over one platoon out in a format good enough for Battlegroup.

However, my brother then managed to procure me another company of infantry, this time from the Flames of War people, along with the box pictured below. This will give me enough to think about for a while. I feel like I have a bit of analysis paralysis. I want enough for a company of Battlegroup. But I would also like to have figures for Chain of Command. For this I need pistol equipped officers and largely individually based figures. I need bren teams which consist of 3 figures. Do I put the gunner and support together and follow with another figure? Do I do all individual bases? Unclear. Too much to think about at this time. 


Unpictured are a load of Shermans that I was sent ages ago. This pack contains Comets, nice. But also like 2% of the entire production run of Challenger tanks! I love that. A tank that I was only ever contemplating having one of.



I like the layout of the Flames of War rules book. I like some aspects of it. But I have only ever heard negative things about it. Not sure if I will ever really give them a go.

Next thing: pick up some 15mm buildings and hope for the best. Do I ditch my 20mm stuff? Questions, questions.
