Not content with the default head options, Simon's added his own custom scrim - check out the full OpMB blog post for a quick tutorial on how you can achieve the same effect on your own infantry figures:

It's nearly the weekend and, more importantly, time to announce the winner of the inaugural Operation Mountain Breaker!
I'm very pleased to say that for January '26, from a strong pool of contending entries, we've picked Simon Jackson's very nice section of British Paras.

Historically, the task of defending Tempelhof would have fallen to the men of F Company, 40th Armor Regiment "The Turner Tankers". Their motto was "By Force & Valor" and we'll be sharing more of their fascinating Cold War history as we get closer to Salute.

We've teamed up with the show's organisers to create "By Force & Valor" - the official Salute 53 Digital Miniature (available to download via a QR code in the show guide attendees will receive on the day) featuring two US Army tank crewmen bailing out of a stricken M60 as the NVA assault rolls in.

Salute 53 is only 2 months away!
We'll be back running lots more games of @battlegroundhd.bsky.social set in a Berlin under siege as the Cold War turns hot. This year the focus is on the Fallschirmjager of the East German NVA and their daring coup de main operation to seize Tempelhof Airport.

Was grit, determination and a hulking great A7V tank enough to see them through? Read the full BATREP on the Flank March blog to find out!

Had a lot of fun on Saturday running a 1918 game of @battlegroundhd.bsky.social with Sam from @warfulcrumgames.bsky.social and John from @slondonwarlords.bsky.social .
Sam's Stormtroopers were tasked with attempting a depserate breakthrough assault against dug in and well prepared French poilus.

Kradschützen were the recce elements of Panzer divisions, but often ended up fighting as mounted infantry where the need was greatest. Lacking many heavy weapons they were nonetheless well-supplied with small arms, a sticky problem for any infantry advance!

We actually added a third table so it was a bit bigger - probably around 8x5ish? I do agree that 28s can feel a bit pushed for space on a 6x4 but denser terrain tends to help a lot

That's really encouraging to hear - glad you enjoyed it! If you have any feedback let me know as I'm already aware of a few things I've missed, I'm sure there are more
