A VBCW adventure

 While there hasn't been much movement on the Bolt Action front, there has been some. I decided to build all the remaining bodies for the Italians. After building the engineers squad, there were 7 bodies left to build. These were split up in to three groups, to form an engineers command squad, a flame thrower team and two assistants for the FOO.  First up the Engineers command squad, formed of an officer and two assistants. The idea behind these is simple, options. The other engineers squad is 5 strong, and when combined with the flame thrower team below, can form a second five man squad. Alternatively they can just function as a command unit for a Engineers platoon, or even as an officer in any other platoon. The two assistants can also be added to the 5 man Engineers squad with the flame throwers to form a large two flame thrower squad or can replace the flame thrower in the squad to enable the two flame throwers to be run as separate units. All in all there are lots of opti...

 Flamer This is the start of a new platoon, one I didn't intend on building but things sort of got away from me and so now I have an engineering squad.  I did not intend on building any more sections but when my boy got the German veterans box, there were several flame throwers going spare, so I though, why not. So, I now have a small engineers squad, with a flame thrower, along with another one on the table, ready to build.  This is just a small 5 man squad, which can be bolstered to 9 or even a full ten men with the second flame thrower team and the officer and his two attendants. Most likely though it will stay as a small 5 man with either one or two flame throwers in.  The German flame throwers are different to the Italian ones, as the German one has a main tank and smaller side tank (flammenwerfer 35) but the Italian is a twin tank design (lanciafiamme modello 35 or modello 40) However, I don't really see this as an issue, as these are either hard core Italian S...
