Together we stand
The red eagle
One of the things I wanted to portray was the multi-national nature of the troops fighting during this period.
In choosing how to portray this on the table top and trying to “theme” my army I’ve decided to try and base my force on the 4th Indian Division.
This particular group of troops were involved in many of the decisive moments fought by Commonwealth troops from 1940-1945
From Operation Compass, the conflict in East Africa, Cyprus, Tobruk, both battles of El-Alamein, and then onto Italy and Monte Casino, they give numerous options for getting your models onto the table.
I’m going 28mm so that also opens up weird war II in the guise of Konflikt 47 too!
Always a fan of getting as much bang from your buck as possible.
This division had a mixture of troops from around the Commonwealth, not just “India” giving scope for throwing in a wide range of models.
Of note not all “Indian” troops are Sikhs in turbans, something I’m keen to get across on the gaming table…..even if it does upset some historical “sticklers”
