Dougie's Falklands Project

[Gran76]

Sorry to jump in here......
ARGENTINE PLATOON

HQ:  1 (3 man) 0-1 sniper attached
3 (11 man sections) comprising of section commander then 2 squads of 5 (5 FNs the other 4 FNs with another man with a FN FAL HB) heavy barrel bipod FN
1 (7 man support section with 2 FN MAGS in the LMG bipod mode)
Total : 43 men

Thats roughly the paper strength but as can be seen at Goose Green the Argentinians manning Darwin ridge was approx

C Coy ,7th platoon, 25th Inf Regt   Lt Estevez 45 men (Darwin ridge East)
Admin platoon, 2Lt Pelufo 41 men (Darwin ridge centre)
C Coy, 7th Platoon, 8th Inf Regt  2Lt Aliaga 37 men (Darwin ridge West)
Various other people falling back from earlier firefight at Burntside hill

I think roughly a squad , 5 men occupy a trench during Goose Green and maybe 2 to a sangar during the mountain battles

Hope this helps.

He beat me just had a week in New York so catching up

really great figures there

Work progressing on the 3 HQ Bases and 1 CO Base. The CO Base is 50mmx50mm and the HQs are 40mmx40mm. The first photo shows how I've built the bases up with milliput and added the main Woodland Scenics rock formations. For 1 of the HQs I wanted a stream so its built up using a layer of plastikard.

This photo shows the CO Base with the figures added.

Here I've added the ground paste and attached the smaller rocks and scree to an HQ Base.

Nearly there!

Very nice Dougie.
Good flashing in the tubes too, you can almost read the instructions and batch numbers!

I've heard flashing on the New York underground is a standard pastime; didn't know it had caught on in the UK.

[Fenton]

I'm sure it hasn't in the Falklands...serious brass monkey weather

Seriously good Dougie !!
