My Eastern Front/Great Patriotic War collection: Part 7a: ‘I once was lost, but now I’m found’

I recently paid a visit to our storage unit, and whilst looking for a boxful of MDF bases, I found three boxes containing more vehicles and figures that I planned to renovate and include in my Eastern Front/Great Patriotic War collection.

The contents of the the first box - which were all from the collection of the late Eric Knowles - included the following German troops and equipment:

18 x Cavalry

2 x Pack horses

6 x Artillery Limbers

2 x 75mm FK 16 nA Field Guns

2 x 75mm sIG 18 Infantry Guns

2 x 7.7 cm IG L/20 (?)

14 x Dismounted Cavalry

11 x Officers and HQ Staff

  1. Ohh! Cavalry! That should add a very interesting dimension to your games!

      I already have a few Russian cavalry and think that my German Army needs some to counter them … and to act as recce for my foot and horse-drawn infantry divisions.

      All the best,

      Bob

  2. Some interesting figures Bob. I particularly like the HQ staff. Eric Knowles clearly had a fine collection of figures.

      Cheers! Eric’s collection was huge … and included units for most European WW2 armies. I have a small part of his German and Russian collection as well’s some of his US troops.

      All the best,

      Bob
