6th Australian Division #2

Progress on WDF(Toy) continues. I have completed the Divisional HQ unit: 2 figures with a Tilly Utility Car; three infantry brigades each of three battalions. The head swaps worked pretty well, better than I expected to be honest. I think the brigades have a real Digger feel to them now. The brigades each have their own character: 16th Australian Infantry Brigade is made up of charging./running figures. 17th Australian Infantry Brigade is made up of advancing/static figures. 19th Australian Infantry Brigade is made up of shooting figures.

The division has some way to go before completion: three artillery regiments plus tractors/LOG; divisional recce; divisional engineers plus truck; RASC LOG column; two British infantry battalions and last but not least the anti-tanks.

The pictures:

All the best!

PS I will be at the Derby Wargames Show this Saturday if anyone else is going we could meet up for a chinwag and tea. Splendid!

    I'm just basing up some Aussies too - albeit for the Far East. I might be at Derby - I'll be in touch...

      Sadly! The University was "quirky" in the way that Castle Donnington isn't!
      It is still fairly "local" for me.
