So the infantry could theoretically be any unit in the 1st Division, but in my mind they are from the Hasty Pees, and the Vickers crew is from the SLI. But the CMP truck has the correct insignia for the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment, and the tank is COBAULT from the Three Rivers Regiment.<br /><br />The Germans on the other hand... I erroneously mixed up Fallschirm-Panzer-Division 1. Hermann Goering with Fallschirmjager, so I bought up and painted a bunch of Perry Miniatures fallschirmjager, only to find that 1st Hermann Goering PanzerGrenadier Regiment didn't actually wear fallschirmjager uniforms. So I've got a bit of proxy situation going on where the FJ are standing in for the HG Panzergrenadiers. It's confusing but once they're on the table, then they get to be whoever I say they are!William Bailiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067891032813036738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953978066664982634.post-62433142956224408832020-03-14T23:23:58.590-07:002020-03-14T23:23:58.590-07:00Yes, I was just wondering if there were specific u...Yes, I was just wondering if there were specific units within the First Division that you were planning on modelling your units after? Will we see a young "Squib" Mowat leading a platoon of Hasty Ps up Mount Assoro? timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953978066664982634.post-18387344127509921202020-03-14T22:30:01.238-07:002020-03-14T22:30:01.238-07:00Thanks for the comments, Phil and Tim.

Tim - this is part of my Sicilian terrain for my Operation Husky project, so you can see the 1st Canadian Division and Fallshirmjager figures to see who will be fighting over it. Of course, now that it's in my collection, it could end up in all sorts of games - Wild West, Pirates, Horse and Musket...William Bailiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067891032813036738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953978066664982634.post-24597112702766081722020-03-14T22:21:32.111-07:002020-03-14T22:21:32.111-07:00Very Nice!
