Since Christmas is a time for ghost stories and getting a new Age of Sigmar army, I thought this old video might be of interest.

Today at work, we received an awesome gift from @dstlmod 😍

[James Langham @JamesLangham69]

@Clint_Davey1 One of those films that works well for both fans (me) and non-fans (my wife).

Yesterday's terrain board build, intended as a Waal river crossing board for my British Officers Don't Duck rules it could also be used for the Rhine at Oosterbeek. I will be making other boards extending it to the side or even back across the river for the Waal crossing.

For those who asked how I painted my US paras, here's a link to a 60 second video.

Test paints of my 20mm US paras for my British Officers Don't Duck wargaming rules. Yes I did paint on the flag and 82nd div flash.

@secretsqrl123 @ivan_8848 While there are not US troops, US missiles and the option to reinforce are significant. Article 5 of the NATO Treaty is the key factor not troops on the ground.

[James Langham @JamesLangham69]

You have my sympathy, I've been busy in 20mm and then moved on to SS smocks...

[Craig Thomson @tinyterrain]

Bored with painting #15mm #BritishAirborne Denisons so started making a few dug in markers from offcuts of foamcore and coffee stirrers

@Chieftain_armor @KrypTanko It's worth noting the Russians actually televise tank biathlon with a number of international teams (all under their sphere of influence).

[James Langham @JamesLangham69]

Possibly a long shot but any wargamers or historians have details on the German Schiffsturm (marines) that fought at Arnhem in 1944 (particularly uniform details).

[James Langham @JamesLangham69]

As a retired ACF officer I want to public ally thank all the young people of all the cadet for es and other youth organisations who will give up their time today to honour those who never came home and those who only partially came home either physically or mentally. Thank you.

@SteveJChambers It's an amazing experience. I was there in September.

[James Langham @JamesLangham69]

My wife and I were the other side of the river from you (not sure I've been forgiven yet for the timing of our honeymoon) and it was amazing to watch. The Bridge Too Far sequence is amazing to watch but when I found out the engineers went back to do it again!

Older films are missing, my 10:
Theirs is the Glory
The Dambusters
Zulu
Waterloo
They Were Not Divided
A Bridge Too Far
The Longest Day
Schindler's List
All Quiet on the Western Front (1930s version)
Battle of Britain
Mainly as older films are more historically accurate.

[Tom Jones @93vintagejones]

Out of the nation’s top war films, five don’t feature any British characters and two are about wars Britain wasn’t even involved in.

If we were a proper county The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp would be in here.

[James Langham @JamesLangham69]

@JAH5198 @93vintagejones Contemporary is interesting, Tumbledown is closer to WW2 than to us! Both great choices though.

[James Langham @JamesLangham69]

@McNolf @93vintagejones Many on there are ahistorical

[James Langham @JamesLangham69]

@AceRumble @Clint_Davey1 Rationally I agree, unfortunately many players make irrational decisions.
