The 4th CAV battalion<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even with the Combat Patrol(TM) play test day yesterday, I managed to complete my 4th Reaper CAV tank battalion, this time heavy tanks. \u00a0From previous posts, you know that I am painting each battalion in different camouflage schemes to make them easier to distinguish on the gaming table. \u00a0The first three were in a modern, realistic camouflage pattern. \u00a0I decided to be a little more outlandish with this battalion.<\/p>\n

Of course, this could be a very realistic camouflage scheme on a different planet.<\/p>\n

After completing this battalion, I felt like I should make the battalion HQ more distinguishable. \u00a0If you look at the top image, you see that the company and battalion HQ bases each consist of a single vehicle on the same sized base. \u00a0I decided the easier way to distinguish the battalion HQ bases was to put a small guidon on the battalion HQ vehicle.<\/p>\n

The flags are removable to make the bases easier to store.<\/p>\n

Now, I need to get started on all the infantry while I await the few missing vehicles from the CAV Kickstarter to arrive…<\/p>\n
