Agreed. Point taken no more specific region stuff like Normandy, Holland or Saxony.

Work In Progress / Re: 1/56 (28mm) Modular Buildings

If you google Oldenburg and pictures you will see buildings that are similar. BUT the germans seem to love plastering their brickwork. Mostly shades of beige, yellow but other "soft"colors are used sometimes.
That is "typical" german and something rarely seen in the Netherlands, if plastered at all (like the farm in the B&W foto) Dutch walls will be white/plaster of paint.
The "style"of the building will gradually change from "Dutch"to "german". If you're close to the border you can't tell (from the look of the area alone) of you're in Germany or in the Netherlands

Good..
Good thing for me is that the Rubicon kit, as it is, seems to fit in nicely.. Looking forward to start building with it.

Introduce Yourself / Hollander here

Hi, I'm Hollander , born 1965, wargaming since 1980, played most if not every period / variant / type of wargaming. including Reforger 1988 (Free Lion) on the North german plain as a Sgt Squad (of if you so prefer section) leader in a light infantry company. (All Landrovers, FN-MAG, FN-FAL, uzi, 2"mortars and stuff. I plan to build and game with it someday but can't decide if should build it in 28mm or 15mm.. maybe both?
Currently I'm into Chain of Command from the LARDIES in 15mm scale and building a 28mm force (germans/russians and some US) slow progress, I get distracted by my family, work, PC wargames(Flashpoint Campaigns anyone?) besides that I ride a BMW R1200 GS Adventure as an instructor teaching other riders to improve their riding skills during track days.
Besides the more "historic" wargaming like WW2 and darkages (SAGA) I also play around with SF, Steampunk and near future what if and Post apocolypse games.. mad Max 2, The road warrior, made quite an impression and desolate deserts and shanty towns are fun to build and it's even more fun to kitbash 1/64 "dark future car wars" vehicles.
That's me in a nutshell.
oh.. I'm Dutch and live in a polder some meters below sealevel on the bottom of what was formerly known as "the Zuiderzee"
Cheers,
Hollander

I'm sorry to dissapoint you Cat, but you.ve posted pictures of Amsterdam. There has been no fighting in Amsterdam (WW2) and only Amsterdam looks like that. Typical buildings in the Netherlands of interest for wargamers should look like these Farms and village/town houses and shops. WSS (wargames Soldiers and Strategy #74 has an article on the fighting around Arnhem and the type of buildings there should be on your Wargames table. . and for the record, I'm from the Netherlands and grew up on a farm like the one the last picture. Hope this helps.
