fairline please tell me, is that XIV shield for Australia/NZ? And what does the Canadian shield looks like? Or maybe it's not in that compilation..

This latest brings it to 110!

Lots betterOriginally posted by fairline
I dunno, maybe your right Case
Are these any better?
The Australians wore a odd mix of British, American and Australian uniforms, the exact mix of which often differed from soldier to soldier and battalion to battalion (the Australian Army has never been particularly enthusiastic on enforcing uniform guidlines in combat zones).Bear in mind that Australians and New Zealanders towards the end of the pacific campaign tended to wear US olive green fatigues rather more than British-pattern jungle fatigues
The XIV tactical sign was for the British/Indian 14 Army, which was the major command in the Burma theatre.Originally posted by Arthedain

Just to boast a little, I recently picked up a first edition copy of Field Marshal Slim's Defeat into Victory at a second hand book sale for $10 It's full of fold out maps and is very cool.

yep - I was going to draw an Aussie from a source pic that showed him wearing a slouch hat and Australian khaki shirt, US marine trousers and gaitors and British equipment modified with Owen gun pouchesThe Australians wore a odd mix of British, American and Australian uniforms, the exact mix of which often differed from soldier to soldier and battalion to battalion (the Australian Army has never been particularly enthusiastic on enforcing uniform guidlines in combat zones).
Quite a mix there!

Is it a good read? For those not in the know, Slim is regarded as perhaps the best British general of WW2; he took over command of 14th Army and fought a successful campaign to drive the Japanese back through Burma.Comment

I won't be satisfied until every fighting vehicle, siege engine, and ground pounder to ever see combat is rendered in glorious detail by your amazing talent.

Pathetic?Originally posted by Kobra
Looking great, guys!
M3 Stuart/Grant, Cromwell, M36 Jackson:
I was bored at work today so I had a humble try at that magical face lift thing Fairline does to old nemo units. Pretty pathetic try...
Although they don't look magnificent as Fairline's tanks, they're still an excellent lifting

Yep, it's very good - it's often considered to be the best of all the WW2 Generals memoirs. It's very honest and gives a clear account of the campaign.Originally posted by fairline

10$!
Are you sure there was no petty larceny involved? 
Btw, has anyone looked at Meiktila 1945? This could be an interesting scenario topic.
If you ever find Burne's book on Mesopotamia for a similar price, I bet you could make profit on its resale.Comment

No, it was at a large second hand book fair run by amateurs, and they often don't appreciate the value of certain books. For instance, last year I bought over $500 worth of official WW2 histories for less then $100Originally posted by Boco
