20mm Fallschirmjaeger update
I've not been up to much this week with family visiting at the start of the week and a trip to hospital to remove a foreign body from my eye mid-week - I have no idea how it got there! Since then my vision has been a bit blurry while I've been using antibiotic ointment, so not much point in trying to paint anything.
So, for want of anything more positive to share, here's a picture of the current status of my Fallschirmjaeger Brigade for Rapid-Fire. I've so far completed the jaegers for three companies for each of the three battalions. The back row are undercoated command figures, six for each of the battalion commands, plus 6 figures for the brigade command and a two man artillery observer team. The regular jaegers are Airfix, while the command figures are from SHQ with a few Airfix figures. I've still got SHQ MG and mortar teams, plus some engineer figures to complete, plus three Zvezda Pak 36 AT guns - I haven't decided whether to modify the regular infantry Zvezda crew or modify some Airfix infantry to act as crewmen.
I did manage a brief game of Flames of War on Thursday night. My US paratroopers were taken aback by a pair of SS flamethrower half tracks, cunningly disguised as regular half tracks, which allowed the SS to seize an objective and hold it. Still think it's a good game, but has very little to do with WW2 other than some really nice models.
Hope to be back to normal soon. Thanks for looking.

Hope the eye recovers quickly Andy.

Thanks guys. Back at work now, but still using the medecin. Seems to be OK but the ointment makes vision a bit blurry for a while after use. Got to get back to it before the lead mountain engulfs me!
