Building my Rommel armies

 I've been enjoying learning Sam Mustspha's Rommel.  I like the subtlety and sophistication of the mechanisms.  Building the armies has been something of a challenge.  I had the figures, after buying additional packs of Wargames South and Minifigs 12mm to add to my IABSM forces.  I had also added an eBay buy of a few dozen late war vehicles by Skytrex.  These are significantly and noticeably smaller than the Pendraken ones I usually use, but for large basing such as that I'm intending to do for Rommel, they will work a treat.

My initial plan was to use small bases of 3cm width and three figures, but I abandoned this in favour of 5cm with five or six figures, and vehicles to denote Motorised or Grenadier units.  It made this quite a large project.

Please also note that my German Infantry is in an early war colour uniform.  This is deliberate since these boys are destined to face a future Early Soviet army in Barbarossa, and more specifically Rommel meets the boardgame Sturm Nach Osten.

Some additional units and HQ bases, ready for O group.

I'm planning on bringing this lot back to the UK and it should be the basis for some great games.
