I have just started reading a book about a little known battle which has prompted another project………………….who’da guessed!

With having almost finished (just a cavalry unit to go) a WW2 Greek army I picked up this book to get an idea of some of the battles it fought. I will write a review about the book and an overview of the battle when I finish it.

I was given some figures by Andrew from Wargames Holiday Centre Australiaand had numerous sprues from Warlord Games purchases so I decided to put together an Italian army to fight the Greeks. I already have 20mm Australians and Italians for North Africa, but what’s another scale between friends.

I have started putting together the first platoon. I always glue the figures to a base before adding arms, weapons, etc as the base gives you something to hold onto whilst assembling the rest. Each squad has 11 rifles, 1SMG and 1 LMG to cater for all options.

Command group with SMG’s

what will be an MMG team

A light mortar team using Wargames Atlantic Italian bodies and Warlord Games British arms and weapons.

An anti-tank rifle, also using Wargames Atlantic Italian bodies and Warlord Games British arms and weapons.

Once I finish putting these together I will complete another platoon and pick up a tank or four!
