First, the regimental assets:
From the unit's right, front rank:
- 45 mm AT gun, Pendraken gun and crew. The limber is from Pendraken's WWI line but the rider is from Wargames South.
- The regimental scouts, in their cammo suits. Recon is a big deal in any good WWII game -- in BKC well-employed recon increases the command value of a nearby command stand.
- The commander himself, with his team. The burned-out Panzer IV is from Minifigs. I found the sample a bit fiddly to assemble; wrecked I could manage. The mounted officer is a very handy figure; he was designed as the commander from the Pendraken WWI Russian cavalry.
- On the left flank, the 120mm Mortar (Pendraken again) with its limber.
- Right-rear the anti-tank riflemen of the AT company, and the Sub-machine gun company on the left; a handy regimental reserve.
In Blitzkrieg Commander the typical battlegroup is a re-enforced regiment; the command stand is therefore set up to be the highest ranking stand on the board.
Next, the 1st Battalion:
Likewise, 2nd Battalion:
Except -- the officer in the right front rife stand waving his pistol over his head to encourage his men is from Minifigs. The Minifigs figures are slight but can be mixed in moderation with Pendraken figures when the equipment size differences are not too jarring.
