German army for 1917-18

[Peter]

What originally started out as just reorganising my German infantry into a couple of platoons ended with the rest of the army rebased (except a few bits already done). Thanks to Andy for the extra figures needed.

The complete army (except an infantry gun)


First platoon, the first section is Strelets stormtroops. Each platoon has one Vickers LMG and one MG08/15.


Second platoon, it should have 4 sections of 11 men and 1 Leutnant in command and two sections could be LMG armed. I have used 10 in each section and kept 4 to give the Leutnant a small platoon HQ including a rifle grenadier


The possible supports anti-tank rifles, flamethrowers and a sniper just creeping out of sight


More supports, a few pioneers then four MG08 backed by a couple of minenwerfers and a couple of Grenadewerfer 16s with the cavalry behind


The guns, 77mm in a disruptive camo scheme


and just plain


Figures are mainly Emhar, HaT and Strelets with a few odd Revell

At the moment my British



A basic platoon had 4 sections of 9 men, plus a HQ of 5 making 40 men and an officer. The sections were split by speciality, one rifle, one rifle grenade, one bomber and one Lewis gun (with two LMGs)


I created two platoons, plus supports and hopefully the sections are obvious as they are arranged in order.


Supports are a couple each of light and medium mortars and Vickers machine guns

Very nice indeed.

I particularly like the camouflage on the German guns.

Best wishes,
