Bagration Soviet Decoy Tank Platoon

I wanna see how you guys have painted any Soviet-captured German tanks that you run. I'm probably going for 3 panthers, because they're just better than 3 IS-2s.

Flexible plastic Infantry

So has anyone else found these to be the worst quality of infantry that Battlefront have made? I've had multiple blokes with mold lines running down their faces, meaning they're going to have zero facial definition once I remove said mould lines. Thankfully the model in the photo is one of the 50mm Mortar men which I'm not using for my SMG company, but still, terrible quality.

Battlefront if you read this: please kill this material and revert to a combination of metal and hard plastic only. I know hard plastic minis have a substantial cost, but they would have better quality sculpts than this disaster.

Soviet 50mm Mortar

I recently got SBX51 (SBX80 was out of stock) Submachine Company, and it comes with two flamethrower sprues that also have three mortar men on each sprue. My question is: What uses the 50mm Mortar? I can't find it in Bagration or Berlin Soviets.

D-day Compilation

Is the D-Day compilation no longer available? I can't seem to find it at any Australian stockists, and I want to avoid ordering from overseas if I can. I can see I can get it direct from Battlefront, but there are other things I want to get that are out of stock with them but in stock at local stockists here.

Why is this brilliant?

I have black, is this brilliant because the engine wants Bh2? Analysis didn't want to show me the follow up for some reason.

Working On Some M125s

I've got some very old resin buckets from the original Flames of War Vietnam release and working on them has made me remember how damn bad they were. The tops didn't fit properly, the resin has raised edges/concave sides. I'm too poor to buy plastic ones, but I'll eventually have to find some T50 turrets anyway.

Which list is better?

As per the title, I've put together two lists for my British Grenadier Guards using fowlist and the bulge: British book. IDK whether it's possible to actually give the motor platoon the Guards Armoured card, but Fowlist did that automatically. Which list is better, the one with AA Crusaders and a small platoon of M10s, or the one with an extra platoon of Shermans?

Hey gang, I'm assembling the Tank Shock Group and I'm doing the Katyushas but am having issues getting the rails to glue to the uprights. it seems they need a fair bit of pressure to fit between the rockets and this disconnects the uprights from their rear glue joint. Does anyone have some tips for me?
