Again great.
Looking forward to a game, currently I really feel like having a cool refreshing lager.

German lager??

The game has Soviet naval units as well, though I don't think they are painted green.

Not got pics for them as yet but what the hell, Scharnhorst is now completed and the Luftwaffe have gained a small contingent of troublemakers as well... specifically they now have a few more bombers:

:german: 2x FW-200 long range recce planes/bombers (amazing models, trouble flying in formation as they overhang the bases somewhat)
:german: 3x He-111H medium bombers
:german: 3x Ju-88 medium bombers/dive bombers
:german: 3x Do-17 light bombers
:german: 8x Ju-87 stuka dive bombers
:german: 2x Me-110 heavy fighters/light bombers/ RAF target drones
:german: 17x Me-109e fighters
:german: 3x Ar-196 float planes to act as spotters for warships

May have gone a tad over the top on aircraft, but they are nice enough models, mostly painted as well with only a couple of the Me-109 and the Do-17 still to complete. Should be able to do a bit of damage to any pesky Royal Navy units we can find, just hope the RAF & FAA keep out of it

Can use the micronaughts air rules but also have picked up "wings at war" which seems simple enough and could be interesting, only have the Battle of Britain scenario for now though

Gained a few more ickle planes, mostly to go with Bag the Hun, but also nicely able to support the Kreigsmarine, equally at home over London or the south coast..

not built yet but we have in little baggies:
:german: 8x Me110 Destroyers
:german: 1x He59 float plane
:german: 2x Ju52 Transports
:german: 3x He111H-3
:german: 6x Me163 Komet

Aim is to be able to do a decent wave of bombers, plus a few oddballs for escort missions.

Turned up in less than 24 hours as well..
