Bundeswehr Heavies


These have been painted a couple of weeks, but today I finally got around to taking some photos.

In my past few games of Seven Days to the River Rhine the Bundeswehr have been rather roughly handled, particularly due to the survivability of the Leopard 1A1s. I bit the bullet and added a platoon of Leopards 2's to give them a try out.


The models this time are from Red3, I rather liked the option of being able to add the tank commander and gunner sticking out of the turret.


As these are likely to be regular Bundeswehr rather than reservists I decided these should be in the more modern three colour scheme.


One thing to note is that they are probably too small, slightly, but noticeably smaller than the Timecast Leopard 1s  where they should be a little bit bigger in all dimensions.



I also added a pair of Fuchs AFVs to add to what I have to make up the mounts for a platoon.

Lets see how the Bundeswehr do in our next adventure.

    1. Thanks Jonathan, hopefully survivability will be balanced by lower numbers

  5. Very nice. I have both Leopards 1 and 2 in 1/87th scale. Leopard 2 is definitely the bigger cat.
