And I forgot about the Charlemagne Division too - which would the aforementioned Frankish connotaion... but that difference between the two is rather interesting and I wasn't aware of that at all. The Free Corps only had a handful of members in the end didn't it?<br Kieran Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191062526187270925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-56320545013034577372012-08-31T15:35:21.539+01:002012-08-31T15:35:21.539+01:00Yes - bang on, although there was a lot of misunde...Yes - bang on, although there was a lot of misunderstanding about the Welsh/Irish/Scots (hence most contemporary Germans referring to the British forces as the 'English Forces'). It's interesting that the British Free Corps was British, not English, however - when they raised a Belgian unit they made it specifically 'Flemish' so as to exclude the French and Walloons - they Colonel Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632701529009379584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-69393923085603647222012-08-31T14:55:38.803+01:002012-08-31T14:55:38.803+01:00I've used brown undecoats since doing some Cop...I've used brown undecoats since doing some Copplestone White Russians 10 years ago, and as I tend to go for natural flat colours it definitely works well, I think if I was doing dress uniforms where I wanted a bolder look I'd go for black.

Interested to see the results of that. And the Germans would call them Anglo probably, after the habit of people from outside the UK of calling everyone English - Malcom Tucker to Gen Miller: "Don't ever call me f**king English again!"Colonel Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632701529009379584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-47839095188743918262012-08-29T13:48:35.231+01:002012-08-29T13:48:35.231+01:00Absoloutely fantastic stuff, the Volksgrenadiers/A...Absoloutely fantastic stuff, the Volksgrenadiers/Anti-Partisan troops and the French are about to be the test subjects for a brown undercoat spray which should save a bit of time...<br /><br />Haha, I like Anglo Agitators, we need a name for the Welsh who will not be happy at being called Anglos lol.

Good shout for the month thing - it wasn't intentional really, I just had a lot of WW2 stuff to post about so I put the brakes on my 40K stuff for a while.

CURSE YOU COLONEL SCIPIO! lol! If I had more money or less minis I think I would have already jumped in with both feet.

Including one from GDW's old Europa series, and love them (GMT has another good one). I agree with you that the chances of German success were slightly more than nil for many reasons. But one has to simply see a film like It Happened Here (thanks for posting that) to be fascinated by the Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-60423376189200899722012-08-29T00:28:20.718+01:002012-08-29T00:28:20.718+01:00Those are awesome mate, can't wait to see some...Those are awesome mate, can't wait to see some batreps and read the narratives involving them.

I think a month is just the right amount of time for a side project. For me, any longer and I start getting distracted and don't end up finishing things. Col.
