Al Andalus and the real objective of the Germans in Operation Sealion 🤭

This weeks unit is another for my Al Andalus collection, to balance up the recent additions to the Arabs some Christian infantry.

These were picked up second hand with some others and I have sorted them to some extent into those with mail and those without. I have also mixed round and tear shaped shields to signify these are not just ‘Normans’. In terms of casts they are quite old and a bit ropy early Gripping Beast I think as they come with fixed shields. But they are acceptable. The flag was a bit tricky but works nicely from LBMS.

Now why did the Germans thing about invading Britain.....

Well this can play as either an objective or simply as pretty terrain. I have picked up a couple of similar vehicles of eBay recently.

Corgi die cast 1:50 scale so quite large but here is a comparison shot with the recently acquired Armadillo.....technically also a Bedford truck and a Warlord 1:56 , they work well enough. Sadly they don’t seem to make a Shepherd Neame truck which would be a bit more geographically correct. I have picked up another truck which if I don’t like the colour I might repaint 🤔 the riddles truck is such a lovely colour I’m keeping it.
