The other bits and bobs shown will have to wait till there's a few more to flesh out the sets, thinking of staff, high command, etc.

Would there be a need for separate sets of Lewis guns, rifles and ncos? as per the original range we had those in sets of 2 and 3 minis.

Feedback apreciated.

The Battle of the Netherlands May 1940

 May '40 Miniatures posted this. 

The Battle of Netherlands was part of a German military operation dubbed Fall Gelb through which Hitler conquered the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. During World War II, seizing these lands ensured that Germany would have a buffer zone against Britain and France. Historical records state that it took the German defense forces a period of about seven days (from May 10 to May 17, 1940) to occupy all key cities of the Netherlands.
