Land markers for Airstrike BRS Supplement - part one


After completion of naval markers for Airstrike rules there is high time for the landing ones. This time I'd like to share with you an idea of "dynamic" markers.

Many years ago I gained a samples of GHQ micro models of WW2 vehicles. I kept this 1/285 modes as a perfect casted miniatures. I came up with idea to adapt them as a markers for some Airstrike targets. Let see what have we here.

Tank column
This target with 4 point hits could consist of four tank models to represent a full strength convoy. Being an armored target it is not so easy to destroy it with a straffing attack. Having different tank models I have a chance to arrange a proper view: German heavy tank column under attack of pair of Mustangs during Overlord operation, heavy tank platoon spoted by a  Polish bombers from 305 squadron France 1940, platoon of PzIIIJ under attack of Kittyhawks from 112 Shark squadron somewhere in the Western Desert (substitutive terrain :) )





Truck convoy
This vulnerale target is really easy to smash with a straffing attack. For level bombers it would be the challange due to its mobility. Here we have a US convoy of Studebackers covered by single Spitfire Mk IX.


Artillery position
Another target that can be expressed with a GHQ micro models. Here we have a platoon of Wespe guns covered with additional light flak under attack of pair 305th polish squadron Mosquitos..



Flak position
In place of flat markers it is good to use some models. In my opinion 1/285 GHQ AchAcht are doing a job.

In the next step I'm going to arrange a Airfield with 1/600 micro models and a special marker for paratrooper landing zones (1/600 Horsa Gliders)
.
There is a still open concept of static objectives as factories, Airbases, Bridges and also trains. If you have any ideas how to visualise such objects I'd appreciate for sharing.
