I have, however, taken to placing infantry units/ formations in A5-sized containers - the sort of thing you get with Chinese or Indian takeaways. E.g. Soviet Battalions/ Brigades comprising 3 x 2-figure rifle stands, 1 x MMG stand, 1 x mortar or infantry gun stand, and 1 x Anti-Tank Rifle stand. I have been considering adding a single figure command stand. I have one heck of a lot of these units. My 'Operation Uranus' posting of a couple of years back is a bit of an indication... And that's not counting my SMG units.<br /><br />Methinks my WW2 projects got a little bit out of hand...<br />Happy New Year, Bob. I do like recent work on your WW2 stuff. <br />Cheers,<br />Ion<br />Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-62008781677288031292019-12-31T14:39:15.560+00:002019-12-31T14:39:15.560+00:00Maudlin Jack Tar,

I am getting to the stage where the amount of storage space in my toy/wargame room is pretty well full, and trying to find things can be a bit difficult at times. I am hoping that my ‘formation in a box’ will help solve this problem.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Bob<br /><br />PS. May we also wish both of you a Happy New Year. We aren’t likely to be visiting a North America soon, but when we do, we hope to see you again.Robert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-11027833584021974812019-12-31T14:24:16.978+00:002019-12-31T14:24:16.978+00:00Very nice looking units Bob.
