I finished up some US reinforcements this weekend. Time to use these to diversify my 6mm gaming capabilities.

Here we have three of my nine M4 Shermans. These are just regular old M4s with the 75mm cannon. I am happy to have these and cannot wait to get them onto the table this week.

 The convoy. Having these M3 Halftracks with infantry and without mean I can use them for various things. Annoyingly one of the full halftracks has some scratched helmets so needs to be repaired and isn't pictured here.

M8 Greyhounds. I think these are gorgeous vehicles and one of my favourite units in the computer game Company of Heroes. They were the base of my learner US build (four rifle squads followed by an M8) a few years back when I was playing that game. I look forward to pitting one of these against a Tiger II to see if he can sneak up behind and pop a few shots into the back plate.

M5 Stuarts. I have some scenarios that require these tanks, and I have been interested in them for a while. I remember using these in the computer game Sudden Strike 2 to great effect. I also recently used them (or M3 Stuarts) in Blitzkrieg 2, to a less successful degree.

Reinforcements! Shermans, transport and some big cats.

After almost a month of anxious waiting my delivery from Heroics and Ros finally arrived. I am so glad it is here. I have been wanting to get on with this for ages. Only having only Sherman 76s has been a pain in the butt for ages. Now with some normal ones I can actually field some normal looking forces. 

I am also excited to try out the apocryphal story of the M8 Greyhound taking out a Tiger II. The purchase of a Panzerjäger IV is mrerly because I think they are stunning and there was a not insignificant number in Normandy.  The Puma is for nostalgia. One of my first kits ever was the Matchbox 1/76 Puma, which I still have even now, although it got a face lift a few years back.
