Infantaria Americana da WWII - WWII U.S. Infantry

Aqui começa uma série de fotos de figuras utilizadas em jogos de WWII e pintadas, algumas delas, à mais de 15 anos.
A pintura não é de excelente qualidade, mas é a qualidade possível quando se quer ter uma unidade de várias dezenas de figuras pintadas num curto espaço de tempo.
Espero que gostem deste meu momento de nostalgia e de regresso ao passado. De vez em quando convém tirar o pó a algumas miniaturas da minha colecção!

The German King Tiger Tank was introduced in early 1944 and was the most powerful tank during world war 2. With its powerful 88mm gun and an almost impenetrable front armor, it was one of the most feared weapons of world war 2. Up to the end of the war, the allies had not introduce any effective means to counter the threat.

The first time Tiger saw action was on August 29th of 1942 and September 21st/22nd at Mga, southeast of Leningrad with 1st company of sPzAbt 502. The unsuccessful engagements ended in the new Tiger being captured by the Soviets, who then examined it and exhibited during the captured equipment exhibition in Moscow’s Gorky Park in 1943. The failure of Tigers was attributed to mechanical problems as well as poor terrain conditions, totally unsuitable for heavy tanks. In December of 1942, Tigers from sPzAbt 501, saw action near Tunis in North Africa.
