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

For company command stands, I tend to have a few officers mounted in a jeep, generally on a 2x2 inch base.

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.

H,
