That's all the US models on my work bench at the moment, hopefully they'll be ready for a game in January 2013! Still in a bag are a couple of M10 warthogs and 2 Huey Cobras once they're on their flight stands I'll post some pictures. Still need to order three MLRS rocket launchers and some recce and that should be about it.

  2. Looks good. You should put the engineers in M113s though.

  3. Your quite right, the engineers were an after thought to use up spare figures I had left over. They will eventually get M113s to replace the trucks.
    Cheers
