Wargames Atlantic BEF: Review, assembly and basic kit bash

[@scalehistoryslc819]

This is the best looking kit I've seen from Wargames Atlantic so far. These guys look very natural and dynamic and the detail is awesome! Great kitbashing too Dan!

[@ValhallaGames]

Yes- i agree with that also! Thanks mate- very basic compared to yours but im hoping when painted it has that ' cant tell its a kitbash' look that is satisfying!

[@scalehistoryslc819]

@@ValhallaGames more often than not, its the simple kitbash that is most effective! can't wait to see these painted up

Nice one Dan. Wargames Atlantic plastics are right on point, they’re awesome

Hi Darren, yep they are great and the more they work with their customers like they have done on this set, the better they are getting!

Nice poses and sculpts pit they got the entrenching tool webbing incorrect for the 1939-40 period.

[@wargamesatlantic4740]

We gave both types on the frame

[@ValhallaGames]

Hi John, I can confirm that both types are on there. I have made mine with a view to fielding them later in Greece, where the Kiwis had a blend of earlier & later kit, including the later E-Tools. My apologies for misleading you if that was the case- please check out the sprue content review and you will spot the earlier E-tool on there. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching ! Kind Regards, Dan

[@johnmumford9731]

Ahh thanks excellent news

Which tanks did the NZ division in Greece have at their disposal?

[@ValhallaGames]

Hi, thats a good question and the answer is -none! NZ Div did not have its own armour until much much later in the war, and after being let down continually both units supposedly in support and the fact combined arms between armour and infantry were just not done particularly well by allied units until late in the desert campaign. The New Zealand Div. in Greece had to blunt German armoured attacks with massed artillery fire, and this close cooperation with the Artillery and Engineers blowing passes during the withdrawal and the challenges on the terrain for vehicles of all types helped their withdrawal to the coast.

[@666greyghost666]

@@ValhallaGames yeah, you are right! I ended up reading the historical account in the nz military archives... they just had too much for us at that point in time sadly

Finally, a Tommy gun with forearm grip AND drum mag.
