Piles of Panzers

Sorting out the toys for next Saturday's Megablitz game is now well under way.  The game scenario is loosely based on the Panzer breakthrough in mid-May 1940 and will involve no fewer than seven Panzer Divisions - as far as I know this is a record number for a Megablitz game!  To even my own surprise, I am providing six of them, with John A bringing along his own 8PD.
It occurred to me that you might want to ogle the toys.  Also it will intimidate the French players...
As usual, I am using what I have so the divisional numbers aren't all accurate.  I'll begin with the Fuhrer's armoured might.  Above is the veteran 19PD, formed in the late 1990s.
 23 PD - a relatively (c,10 years) new unit.
 11PD - formed around the same time as 23.
 7PD - Rommel's lads.
 2PD - my original and highest mileage Megablitz unit.
 14 PD - some of the oldest models I own. 
 3 Motorised Division.

Let me know if you'd like a closer look at any of these divisions.
Next - more Germans.

    Its an Airfix Opel Blitz with a Roco bridge section. I'll do a post on 3mot after the game (but you may need to remind me...)

    Looks like a target-rich environment for the French!

    All they need is something to stop them with.

    All the best,

    Bob

    Sounds like a job for young General Coer Du Roi and his DCR....

    I think that by now I may have an almost adequate quantity...

    2013 ... wow. Good to see some seriously suspicious conversions in there Tim. I'm proud of you! 3D prints are turning me into an (almost) respectable wargamer. :-)
