Platoon Weapons Detachment and more!

My Carl Gustav team and GPMG team, plus additional fire team members, a second ANA section, and assorted local characters are done!

I finally got the Afghan merchant with goods that I'd gotten a long time back ( last October when I'd ordered the big influx of Taliban reinforcements) done up while painting the dickers. One of the dickers is sitting talking on a cell phone so I used some spare boxes and an extra weapons cache to make him an arms merchant. Maybe he's calling a customer or getting the grocery list to bring home, maybe he's reporting the location of the ISAF patrol?

I added some boxes to the War Time Figures merchant too. After priming I realised the top box had some old glue so I made the book out of folded paper to cover that up.

Patrolling the market 

ANA ask questions in the market. Another from the Dicker pack is sitting by the corner of the building, talking into a cell phone

Stopping a fellow with a suspicious bag

I hope to be able to build in some aspect of questioning the locals and maybe having the ANA or the interpreter along will boost the intelligence gathering.

  2. They all look great! Well done. And cool photography too.
    The merchant is my favourite -- that sort of flavour adds a lot to a gaming table.

  4. Fabulous stuff, mate. Your Afghan project goes from strength to strength. I wonder if anyone actually humped a CarlG in Afghanistan? Perhaps for blowing in compound doors ...

    1. Yes they did!
      They were handy for engaging grape huts.
