Chain of Command: Jump Off Points for my US Boys

As I wanted some thematically appropriate Jump Off Points for my US Boys, I used some leftover miniatures from my AD- and Airborne projects and some drop containers and parachutes (self-printed ones) to build 4 of them.

Of course these markers could be used as Objective Markers for Battlegroup too.

My new 4 Jummp Off Points at a glance:

Along this way!

A short rest.

Re-supply found!

All stowed away now.

Game Marker for CoC, 'O'-Group and Battlegroup: Sections of Barbed Wire in 15mm

After completing the markers for Minefields the next ones we needed for our games were some sections of Barbed Wire.

Measuring 6" x 2" using cocktail sticks cut to length for the posts and Security Wire to represent the barbed wire.

In addition to normal sections, I also built 3 destroyed sections of these barbed wire entanglements, which were either destroyed by artillery/mortar fire, tanks driving through them, or by pioneers with wire cutters.

And a closer look at the destroyed sections:

Game Marker for CoC, 'O'-Group and Battlegroup: Minefields

As I need some more game marker, I started a little project to make them - first are marker for minefields in two versions: German and an Allied ones.

Used popsicle sticks that are nearly perfectly 6" long - it´s much more flexible how to lay down the Minefields on the gaming table this way.

And here some impressions from the WiP stage:

Band of Brothers. 101st Airborne in 15mm for the Battle for the Normandy: First sniper team done

The first sniper team for my Airborne is ready to make sure those Krauts keep their heads down - and for Battlegroup, it is also the first reconnaissance unit.

Sniper and Observer self printed again, STL´s are from 3D Breed, whereby I built the scope myself from brass wire and Greenstuff, as there was no ready-made figure for it available.

The brick wall is made from single "stones" cut from styrofoam.

Deutsche Version

Das erste Scharfschützen-Team für meine Airborne ist bereit dafür zu sorgen, dass die Krauts ihre Köpfen unten halten - und für Battlegroup ist es gleichzeitig die erste Aufklärungseinheit, die damit einsatzbereit ist.

Schütze und Beobachter sind wieder selbstgedruckt, STL´s stammen wieder von 3D Breed, wobei ich das Zielfernrohr aus Messingdraht und Greenstuff selbstgebaut habe, da es keine fertige Figur dafür gab.

Die Mauern habe ich aus einzeln geschnittenen "Steinen" aufgemauert, die ich aus Styrofoam geschnitten habe.
