My British Starter Force Build
Adding more content
My intention for the British Starter Force was to build the variations of each model and I was pleased with the results so far. So my list of content is thus:
AVRE, Churchill, Crocodile, Centaur 95mm, Cromwell 95mm, Cromwell, Firefly, M10, Stuart, Universal Carrier WASP, Universal Carrier OP, Universal Carrier MG and 25 pdr.
I had already bought some additional models to start creating my British Army. Again, a week later after finishing the box contents bar the figures (still haven’t decided yet what I’m doing) I made up some more models.
I liked the idea of having a AVRE support unit (thanks Oriskany), so I made another AVRE with my Churchill Armoured Troup box. I then decided to go through my unit cards and chose to make a Churchill Armoured Squadron HQ, because I had already made the 75mm Churchill I decided to have the other two Churchills as 95mm giving me the options for 18, 12 and 6 points HQs.
My next box was the Universal Carrier Patrol. So I had already made a WASP, an OP and a MG Universal Carrier, so my obvious choice was to make all varieties of Universal Carriers. I have units of WASP, MGs, MMGs and a single PIAT Universal Carrier.
I’ll definitely be buying another box of Churchills maybe two to finish off my Crocodile Flame Platoon and have a Churchill Armoured Troup, now I’m not sure if I should buy another Universal Carrier Patrol box to have a PIAT Patrol or just leave it as a single PIAT Universal Carrier (hmmm, choices, choices).
