The third 20mm World War 2 army in the collection is the American. This army began life as some Airfix WW2 Infantry painted by my son Nick. He did a lovely job on them, painted for Rapid Fire I think. He moved on to ancients pretty soon after and the figures languished for a decade or more before I decided to renovate and rebase for Spearhead. There were a few vehicles in the collection, and I added to them to pad the army out to something vaguely playable using Keith's WW2 Scenario Generation System. The army is considerably smaller than the others, a function of late development and NO games to motivate completion. The army has never seen action on the table top.

| The infantry, about a regiment's worth in SH terms |
 |
| An American army without jeep mounted recon? Exactly ... never |
 |
| An M8 armoured car hidden in the corner of the box |
 |
| The armour.. bare bones for a SH army under the scenario system |
 |
| Some of the support stands |
The thing with American armies under SH is that their TOE's allow plenty of off table artillery in support .. why wouldn't you? If I had the motivation driven by 'gaming I'd expand/complete the army. As we say in our New Zealand slang .. 'yeah nah'.
