US Heavy Weapons Platoon

Hello All

So my third platoon for Colours 2013 painting challenge is now behind me, I went for a smaller platoon so I ended up doing a Heavy Weapons Platoon.

I mostly used the same painting style as I used on the infantry, but I did try out a few new things (mainly on the scarfs and gloves). I'm not 100% happy with the results and I won't be doing this on any of the other infantry.

This platoon gives me a lot of options within the list. I think most of the time it'll be combat attached out to the two infantry platoons to give them 5 bazookas each and 2 HMG's each. But I have also thought about the idea that when defending against infantry of only attaching out the Bazookas and using the HMG's as my ambush platoon.

Normally I would worry about the idea if the infantry had any tank support but with two platoons of Tank Destroyers in the list I have the possibility of 3 ambushes in one turn, 2 that will focus on tanks and the HMG's to focus on the infantry.

So three platoons down 6 more to go, and 31 days left as I write this...... better get my paint on! Next up some Heavy Artillery.

As always thanks for reading and until next time
