WIP Kiwi Shermans

As Nick pointed out, the other nights game involved my Desert Shermans, so I've decided to make yet another Sherman company, this time to support my kiwi forces. I'm using BF Sherman IIIs- the kiwi's didn't have the sideskirts in Italy (Cassino then and now being a great source of shots of kiwi shermans in action, and knocked out) but that's all I've got at present.





Only one week to go to Day of Days. Unfortunately Stephen's broken army hasn't healed fast enough to play so I will be playing my panzerspah, partnering Ian C and his armour panzer grenadiers.So it looks like my 233s will get there chance to shine after all.

  1. You could have used the Soviet M4A2 as they don't sideskirts ?

  2. Goodpoint Les, but I'm trying to avoid buying more and using what I've got lying round. I will eventually get a couple of boxes of the Plastic Soldier Company ones but will make do with the side skirts for now- which are probably okay for some of the other units in Italy

  3. That's what i'm going to do for my Soviets,as they have both 75mm and 76mm versions in the same box . Just get the warriors from BF.

  4. Why wouldn't you these days? I am very impressed with the PSC panzer IVs and from the reviews of seen the new sets are still improving.
