DAK and 8th Army LMGs

[Dr Dave]

Hello All, Dr Dave here - I'm finally taking the plunge and getting 10mm North Africa WW2 - and dumping my 6mm stuff.

So here's my 1st Pendraken posting:

Which figures in the DAK / 8th Army packs are lying down / prone. I'd like all mine upright and not skulking around on the ground! 

[Jim Ando]

Hi

8th army are all upright (even the bren gunner).

The only pose prone is the boys AT rifle guy but it`s a nice figure.

The Vickers crew are sitting as expected.

not sure about old gerry as I don`t have any.

Hi Dr Dave

All of the DAK are upright, MG crew are sort of kneeling, the pic shown by NTM are GR148 I think. The other kit, GR 149 has the more traditional tripod mounted M34/42. DAK radio operators (GR153) are all kneeling down by their sets.

Have fun

Your DAK figures are usually all prone dave.

Well they are when I catch them in the open with my artillery.

Ha Ha Ha.

Yes, I believe the first Tiger KO'd by the Wetern Allies was by a Churchill of the NIH in Tunisia.

Sounds like first tank kill, first kill was a 6pdr A/T, although a Major who was there used to insist it was a 2pdr which stripped the tracks.

How many tigers went to tunisia.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Not very many - 10-12 without looking it up. None came back
