I figured it was time to post a few pics of what I have been working on the past few months.

More pics can be seen on my blog.

I haven't worked much with washes. I tend to get mixed results when I try. I will post some more in a few weeks.
Thanks for the compliment.

Thanks! Although I try to research my projects thoroughly, for full disclosure I didn't intentionally darken the trousers -- the black wash I use made them darker than originally intended. I guess it is still better to be lucky than good!

I painted up this "Prussian" helicopter last year for my 6mm PDF force.

Thanks Shadowspears. Your blog is pretty cool as well. I added photos of my trip to a civil war reenactment I went to in Olustee Florida this past weekend.

Here are a few photos of some Panthers, StuGs, and Marders that I just finished up for a friend -- he likes the "Ambush" camouflage pattern:

platoon, troop, section
squadron, battalion, regiment

Call it what you like. Call it what it was called in that nation's terminology. As long as the people playing your game understand what you mean your all good. Personally I like authentic terminology.

Nice work by the way.

best regards

It is not so simple as the level of organization change with different Armies or Arms.

For example in the US Army Cavalry a Squadron is equivalent to a battalion, a troop to a company. A troop is divided into platonns. At ACW time a CavalruÃ¬y regiment was divided into companies, with intermediate battalions for administration only.

In most other armies a squadron is equivalent to a company, and the troop is a platoon.

Add to this that squadfron is not reserved to cavalry only but in some armies is used for other arms too.

Many armies use Regiment for units that are actually battalion sized and are so qualified in other armies. In the same army this may be different before and after the WWII due to the size reduction of the army.

The British system may be confusing.

For example the same armoured unit may be called Regiment (if of cavalry origin) or battalion (if RTR).

An infantry regoment may fielld various battalions on differen fronts, generally organized in Brigades. In other armies regiments fielded their battalions (usually 3) all together.

I know that all this comes from traditiion but is not exactly straightforward

In the British Regimental system a 'regiment' is a recruitment and training organisation that produces battalions for deployment. In WW2 the Scots Guards maintained 3 battalions in the field, 1st and 2nd being infantry and the 3rd was raised as a tank battalion. The 'regiment' was a place recruits could go, join THAT regiment and be trained. You shouldn't ever see a Scots Guardsman posted to the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry, only to a Scots Guards battalion.

The exception to this rule is for corps. The corps of artillery provides a regiment to support a brigade. Armour, which came from the cavalry corps, also brigades in regiments.

A brigade is a grouping of units, similar to a combat command or a task force. It is generally made up of several battalions with a regiment of artillery in support, and is commanded by a brigadier (of course).

Several armies refer to a regiment as a particular sized unit. To the British it is an identity. A group of battalions is a brigade whereas that size formation to other armies is a regiment.

British WW2 division had 3 infantry brigades or 2 armoured brigades.
US and German infantry divisions had 3 infantry regiments.

Simple
