Fallschirmjäger II.

9th April, 1940. A small unit of Fallschirmjäger under the command of Leutnant Dreher, soon after landing as part of Operation Weserübung in Denmark.

Leutnant Dreher and his squad just outside Aalborg Air Base.

The squad MG34 sets up.

Dropped far from the others, Jager Schmidt runs to rejoin the squad!

2nd unit, again painted as early war Fallschirmjäger.

Figures are all Wargames Foundry. Sorry the photos are a bit blurred!



Buildings.

Just got these is the post today from Dark House Games! They are a very simple construction, kind of 'click & snap' and require little or no work - they are a bit flimsy without a dab of glue. They are very plain (two colour plastic) and need a paint job but to be honest you could probably use them as is. I picked up these two to check them out and I must say I am pretty happy with them. They are ideal for most modern periods and a reasonable scale to match 28mm miniatures. I picked them up with a modern zombie project in mind but think they can easily fit into WWII.

'Hanger' and 'Cathedral'.

Close up of the 'Cathedral' - makes a very nice small church.

The 'Hanger'. Leutnant Dreher and Jäger Krause secure the perimeter...

There is quite a selection of these and the prices are very reasonable for what is in effect an immediately useable building.

Fallschirmjäger!
