Finished German support elements

Shortly after having finished up my German platoon last week I've managed to add a couple support elements to give me some new toys and flexibility. While the Stug's were orginally finished back in December, the lackluster lighting didn't do them any favors so I thought I'd include them along with the more recently painted infantry.



Altogether this has given me 27 support points to play around with, quite a significant amount, broken up as following (using the consolidated arsenal):

Regular Infantry section: 4 points
Senior Leader: 2 points
Forward Observer and 8cm mortar (off-table): 4 points
StuH42: 9 points
Stug III G: 8 points

Now where does this leave me in terms of further expansion? Currently waiting for painting remains my vast collection of untouched old Flames of War bits and bobs. And, although I think I'll never field it, I'm currently also nearly done with a Tiger II, which is just an awesome model to own. I'm also looking at adding an MG42 team, a Sig33 infantry gun, a Pak40 and a small section of engineers. 

But, the main issue remains that, while I'm making leaps and bounds with my little Germans, my poor British platoon has received no love in the meantime... I suppose once I get burnt out from painting field grey uniforms I'll jump back to Khaki ;-)

Thanks for reading!
