90. Leichte Afrika Division Schützen Kompany part 2: The HQ

The HQ are the first painted minis for my 90. Leichte Afrika Division Schützen Company. As you can see i decided not to give my HQ Panzerknackers. As told in part 1 i want to stay close to historical; when they just arrived and had there first battles.









Thanks for looking.

90. Leichte Afrika Division Schützen Kompany part 1: The List

Sometime ago i decided that i needed a Mid War army. And because my Late War army's are all allied i decided to go for a German army this time.
My choice: A Schützen Company from the 90. Leichte Afrika Division.
After some thinking i decided that the list must be close to historical at the time they arrived in Africa.
I came up with the following list:

90.Leichte Afrika Division Schützen Kompanie

Headquarter
-Company HQ with HMG Machine-guns

Combat platoons
-Afrika Schützen Platoon with anti-tank rifle and Mortar teams
-Afrika Schützen Platoon with anti-tank rifle and Mortar teams

Divisional Support platoons
-Assault gun Platoon 2 StuG D
-Pioneer Platoon with supply truck
-Anti tank gun Platoon 5cm PaK38 guns
-Light Panzerspäh patrol
-Motorized Artillery Battery 10.5cm leFH18 howitzers

After deciding what my list should look like the first problems arose.
1. My LGS couldn't get his hands on the 2 StuG D's
2. What blister to buy for my pioneer platoon. The pioneer blister listed in the BF online store has too few mini's but if i buy an other combat platoon i have enough mini's but no flamethrowers. So i probably will end up buying both blisters.

In different posts i will show, here on my blog, how my painting progress is going. As i have decided to make this a long term project, (i don't need the army right away because i can always use my paratroopers in a Mid War battle if i like) i don't know when each part will be posted and when this project will be finished. Part 2 will be posted very quick because i already painted the HQ.
Also i like to add that i am not such a good painter and my pictures aren't the best quality. It is more for fun and to show other people how the company comes together.

Armia Krajowa Army Excel file

This is an army file for the Battalion Armii Krajowej from the Armia Krajowa PDF. They fought during the Warsaw Uprising against the Germans.
I have a army file for the Sicherung in Warsaw PDF in the making .
My first intention was to make both files first before i uploaded them. But because of the lack of time making the German file takes a lot longer then expected. This made me to decide to upload the Armia file before the German file is done. As soon as the Sicherungs file is done i will upload that one too.
Direct Link to the file:
Battalion Armii Krajowej
Or you can find it here:
Flames of War Army files

In the Warsaw Uprising folder. Here you also find an Excel 2007 and an OpenOffice army file for the Battalion Armii Krajowej.
