Having managed to get all of my Soviet MEGABLITZ collection out of its storage boxes and onto my tabletop, I decided to do the same for my much smaller German collection.
The full collection can be seen in the following two photographs:
The figures and vehicles in the front have already been organised into formations. These are (from top to bottom):
The figures and vehicles at the back have yet to be organised into larger formations and include:
I am not quite sure what I can do with these 'odds and sods', although they would make quite a formidable coastal defence force.

- 384th Infantry Division
- 389th Infantry Division
- 15th Field Division (Luftwaffe)
The figures and vehicles at the back have yet to be organised into larger formations and include:
- 4 Motor Transport stands (2 half-tracks and 2 trucks)
- 6 Light Transport stands (all Kubelwagens)
- 1 Infantry Gun stand
- 3 Rifle Infantry stands
- 5 Machine Gun stands (4 Wehrmacht and 1 Luftwaffe)
- 3 Mortar stands (2 Wehrmacht and 1 Luftwaffe)

Hi Bob,
ReplyDeleteI think you have achieved a first with this collection - it is the first time I have seen a WW2 German set up without armour!
(I am sure its lurking in a drawer somewhere though)
All the best,
DC
David Crook,
ReplyDeleteThere are some unbased German tanks that will form part of the finished collection if and when I can get around to it!
Mind you, there are also quite a few unbased T-34s as well ...
All the best,
Bob
That last lot has the makings of a late war 6-battalion infantry div. The 75mmIG can be used as the art regt.
ReplyDeleteTim Gow,
ReplyDeleteThat is an excellent idea!
All the best,
Bob
Very impressive! Such a lot of Soviets...
ReplyDeleteBigRedBat,
ReplyDeleteThe pile of unpainted lead I own has probably three times as many Soviet troops in it as there are on my tabletop ... and there are a whole load of T-34s as well!
All the best,
Bob
Another nice collection Bob- all you need to do now is come up with a scenario using both forces....
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pete.
Pete,
ReplyDeleteAlmost all of the collection was used in a MEGABLITZ battle that I staged some years ago for the benefit of a wargames club in Norfolk. A report of the battle can be found here.
All the best,
Bob
Followed the link Bob- looks like it was a great game.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pete.
Pete,
ReplyDeleteIt seemed to go down well, and I have actually re-used the scenario a couple of times since, and each time it has produced a different result.
All the best,
Bob
