US Command bases
Hiya i've been persauded to put together a US infantry Battalion. I'm Going to get some Armoured firepower later but i have the Peter Pig figures ready for undercoating after 2 weeks scraping and filling! For my command teams at Company and Battalion level I want them to stand out... Would they only be mounted in jeeps, or can i put the top boss in a half track? any other ideas to make them stand out? What is most historically accurate? thanks hedgehog

For company command stands, I tend to have a few officers mounted in a jeep, generally on a 2x2 inch base. http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l69/Alexb83/DSC00281.jpg For Battalion and Battlegroup commanders, I tend to go with a tank/armoured car/other vehicle or feature with a few more officers, 3x3 inch base. Really, go with something that looks good.

Great, thanks for that. Nice figures too. Hedgehog

H, Some pics of example command bases for you. US Company command followed by a US Battlegroup HQ behind the M36! DB

Great pictures / minitures. Thanks for that.
