I am now firmly convinced that my Opelandic Army will be a quasi-Swedish force, with Finnish and German influences. My plan is to create an army that is organised into brigades along the following lines:
Armoured Brigades:
This may well be a bit over ambitious, but I won’t find out if it is until I start!
Armoured Brigades:
- An Armoured Battalion
- Two Motorised Infantry Battalions
- A Motorised Artillery Battalion
- A Motorised Assault Engineer Company
- A Motorised Reconnaissance Battalion
- A Self-propelled Anti-tank Gun Company
- A Self-propelled or Motorised Anti-aircraft Company
- A Brigade HQ Company
- Three Infantry Battalions
- An Artillery Battalion
- An Assault Engineer Company
- A Motorised or Bicycle Reconnaissance Battalion
- An Anti-tank Gun Company
- An Anti-aircraft Company
- A Brigade HQ Company
This may well be a bit over ambitious, but I won’t find out if it is until I start!

Totally off-topic and unsollicited, but I can't refrain from another form of nostalgia: dreaming you give us a Lace Wars Opeland, along the lines of Young's 'Electorate' and Grant's 'VFS'...

Phew!! That is a list and a half! I am intrigued about the ships - will you scratch build some of your 'cartoon' type vessels or use existing models? I am also interested in what rules you will be using. All the best, Ogre
ReplyDeleteabdul666,
ReplyDeleteThat might be covered in the back-history when and if I get round to writing it!
All the best,

Ogrefencer,
ReplyDeleteIt is quite a list and will take me a long time to get set up.
The ships will be scratch built - as usual - and will be in my own 'cartoon' style.
As to rules ... well possibly a variant of RED FLAGS AND IRON CROSSES. I am not sure yet, but that will be my starting point.
All the best,
Bob
