StuG G Wayne’s Gebirgsjäger
The army nears completion...

In my first article I mentioned I had a few more things to finish painting. So over the last two weeks I’ve been working away on my StuG G assault guns, 15cm sIG33 infantry guns and the assault rifle armed Scouts.
I still have the 75/18 Semovente to complete. I’ve painted the base colour and camouflaged it with airbrushed spots, so I just have to paint the tracks, exhausts and tools. That should be just a couple of hours work.

Assault Rifle team Scout Platoon

For my fourth infantry platoon I decided to field a Scout Platoon. This is a reasonably small platoon so to give it a little more punch I upgraded them to be armed with assault rifles. For the miniatures I used the GE737 Assault Rifle Platoon with a few head swaps to give them some Bergsmütze caps.

This platoon is armed with the 15cm sIG33 gun. The crew are a mix of miniatures I had in my random bits German box. Some are the new SS infantry gun crew and others were just suitable miniatures that looked right. Some of the SS caps are not quite right for Bergsmütze caps, but with a little knife work I made them more suitable.

StuG G Assault Gun Platoon

The StuG G assault guns were painted Dunkelgelb with green airbrushed patches. Single colour camouflage seemed to be common in Italy, so I just used green. I had a look at the few black and white photos I could find and noted there was a lack of markings on StuGs in Italy, so I just added some number decals to the schürzen.

So all I have left to paint for the tournament (at time of writing it is only two days until the tournament) are a couple of objectives. I have an idea for one, but I’m a little stumped for the second. With the limited time it may have to be one of our off the shelf destroyed tanks.

The rest of my force...
