Can now see the amount of time you put into these dios, Jim! Fantastic use of paint, in the time honoured fine-art style - many layers of colours, ends up looking so real!

Thanks Kris, Scenario revolves around the "Amiens" campaign which heralded the first use of the "Whippet" tank in any real numbers, used to exploit breeches in the German trenches and wreak havoc in rear areas. The Brits had soon learned that massive preparatory artillery barrages severely hampered tank maneuverability and chucked any chance at surprise, so only a light simultaneous rolling barrage just ahead of the attackers was used basically to keep the Germans heads down. Therefore many trenches were captured virtually intact.

Took 'em long enough to figure it out, though!

Actually the whole tank warfare idea was trashed by British high command as non-sense. Dependence upon Espre De Corps and cavalry charges with the cold steel of the sabre was all that was needed to rout the Hun. They soon found out that a few three man machine gun crews with plenty of ammo could hold up entire armies with appalling "wastage" as they so flippantly described the lives of men and poor innocent horses. Thus the tank finally came into it's own and the rest my friend is historyView attachment 117937

Thanks Monica, they're not "set" in yet, just trying out some scenarios. They will only get in the way of ground-work, weathering etc... if they go in too soon, just thought the folks would want to see the gist of it. Still a long way to go........................Jim

Don't remind me,:oops: will have all this seasons logging done soon. Hopefully a few years worth pulled out this time. Once the sub-zero f temps and snows kick in we sleep with the bears. So have to make sure all the i's are dotted and all the t's are crossed. After wood comes hunting to stock the freezers and hopefully not too much snow by Thanksgiving {Nov 25}...........Jim:)
