Chris Palmer We are slowly gearing up to begin work on our latest rulebook in the “Look, Sarge, No Charts” series of rules. This will be geared towards Near Future and Science Fiction battles. Therefore, I have been busily working on assembling some forces to use during playtesting; and have just completed my first full tank battalion.
The entire battalion |
I used tanks from the Scourge faction from Hawk Wargames Dropzone Commander range. Since I didn’t see needing a ton of Anti-Aircraft vehicles, which came with the Scourge Starter Sets I purchased, I converted them to be HQ tanks for each company and the battalion. I chose the Scourge becuase I like hover tanks, and I felt they had a cool alien look about them.

I organized the battalion in a basic 3 by 3 arrangement of three companies with three platoons each. I will probably eventually create an actual AA platoon stand to attach to the Battalion HQ once we start working on the aircraft support rules.

The Scourge tanks look good, Chris. I think you like them, because you are a Marylander, and the tanks look like crab claws.
Thanks! Dang, you’re right, but I never noticed that! I wish I had, as I would have gone with a whole other paint scheme! 🙂
Paint your second battalion red.
