I’m putting my SYW endeavours to one side (I’ve temporarily run out of figures to paint!) & looking at a potential late June WW2 game- Italy in 1943. To my surprise, I’ve discovered that I’d put quite a lot of semi-complete British material to one side about a year ago. This includes 3 X Priests, a PSC Churchill (in pieces) and the crews for an Achilles SPG and a bren carrier. Needless to say, all these items would be useful in a game where the Germans are sure to have a Tiger and a couple of 88s in their roster. ( I’ve also dug out an MDF watchtower that’s been sitting around for several years. The plan here is to make it a Roman one (for an Ancients’ game) by adding a veranda, painting it & building a palisaded compound around it.) The world of wargaming is truly varied. donald

1939-1945,still seems to be the seven years war but with a better variety of figures available.

I'm no where near as passionate or interested in WW2 as the SYW. I'm quite happy to use what's available. I could say the HaT release of the various tank rider sets was very useful. Rather than put them on tanks, I use these figures to put into trucks & half tracks. You can see some in the Bren carrier in the photo. Two of the British figures, undercoated in the lid, will become crew for the Achilles, which came without any figures.
You can game without such figures but it certainly makes vehicles look better.
