Re: Rifles against tanks
Sounds good to me, there was always a chance that vision blocks or visors etc would be hit and any calibre bullet whizzing round inside a tank would make the crew uncomfortable to say the

Re: Norwegians?
Nod Saw that first site the other day. The officer's "kepi" is pretty easy, I'll just use the heads from 1870s Wurttemburgers, but the Finnmarkslue, as you so eloquently put it, is less clear. I

This may seem a trifle daft, but does anyone know of any manufacturer of 15mm Norwegians for 1940? I want to extend the supplement on the Russo-Finish war to include this campaign as well. It's a
