Steelworks Factory Review

The postman delivered a goodie for me today, the first building of the 2016 Premium Property Subscription - the Steelworks Factory! This is the second housing subscription I've subscribed to through Battlefront, and I have to say that I'm quite pleased with this subscription so far.

With design features like the saw-tooth roof and bare brick walls, this is a totally typical manufacturing plant or warehouse. It will look at home on battlefields for any period from the Industrial Revolution till today.

Continuing to add to my DAK army, I've added the DAK Kradschützen!

Rommel !!

Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel, popularly known as the Desert Fox, was a German field marshal of World War II. He earned the respect of both his own troops and his enemies.

7.5cm leIG18 gun

The 7.5cm leichte Infantriegeschutz 18 (7.5cm le.IG 18), during World War II, was an infantry support gun of the German Wehrmacht.

Sd.Kfz.6/3 'Diana'

The SdKfz 6 was a half-track that was utilized by the German Wehrmacht during World War II.

Schützen Platoon (Afrika)

The Afrika Korps or German Africa Corps was the German expeditionary force in Africa during the North African Campaign of World War II. First sent as a holding force to shore up the Italian defense of their African colonies, the formation fought on in Africa, under various appellations, from March 1941 until its surrender in May 1943. The term "Afrika Korps" is actually pseudo-German, deriving from an incomplete German title, which was in any case written as a single word. The German term referred solely to the initial formation, the Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK), which formed part of the Axis command of the German and Italian forces in North Africa. However, the name stuck, with both news media and Allied soldiers, as the name for all subsequent German units in North Africa. The reputation of the Afrika Korps is closely associated with that of its original commander, Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel.

Captured Honey Stuarts

I've started to construct a DAK army, more specifically the 15. Panzer  German Schutzen list from North Africa. Since I wanted to bring Rommel along in this army, I figured he needed some support, so I picked up a Honey Armoured Platoon (BBX25) box set.
