The figures in the tobruks will be used but in the actual defences rather than my tobruks. Rather than add Panzerfausts to the figures I have used the SHQ panzerfausts to make markers so I can remove them once used.
Two Festung Paks and a 155mm gun need to be added, but they will be provided by someone else.
What's a "tobruk"??? I can guess, but have never heard the term before??? Is that the guys in the little individual pill boxes?
ReplyDeleteAlso called a "ringstand", only the top of the concrete structure would be visible. Some nice details here

Perhaps you could sail across and have a look sometime.

It'd take me until next D Day anniversary to get there if I started now!
ReplyDeleteInteresting stuff indeed... I wonder how the turreted ones operated - did they just plonk the turret down and hope it was pointing in the right direction or did it have a traversing mechanism???
Steve, looking at the Osprey D Day fortifications book it is quite clear there that the turrets rotate.

hey these are some very mice looking models but could i just ask what rules you use for your WW2 games because im looking for some good rules to start off my own games.
ReplyDeleteConnor, I use Rapid Fire, it's a basic set but produces a fun game provided you are not into the exact detail of armour penetration and low level infantry combat.
ReplyDeleteok thanks do you know where I can get hold of a copy of the rules
ReplyDeleteConnor, look at
