Just off the painting table are six 20mm MMGs for the 1914/15 Serbian division. The figures are from the Tumbling Dice range. I bought three with the MMG in firing position and three with the MMG being moved. In hindsight I wouldn't have bought the figures for the moving MMG, simply because I'm not sure they will be straight forward in game play, although I left space to put the base label at the back. That will be the how I designate the firing edge and firing arc.

The figures and guns are nice sculpts, although the mount is something akin to the German Maxim 'sledge'. The photos I have of Serbian machine gunners has the gun on a conventional tripod. For example:

Just read max Hastings catastrophe-basically 1914 the calendar year from the fall out of the Balkan wars and then assassination through the empires getting on their high horses to the war of manoeuvre. Through it all Serbia figures and not just because the archduke gets assassinated there. So it was interesting to see these figures modelled. Tumbling dice make some nice figures in 1/72.
ReplyDeleteYes it's fascinating... and yes these Tumbling Dice figures are nice...
