Pulp interwar FreiKorps (ish)

 I always like things to follow 'naturally' rather than having to be forced. 

So... as there is a very Germanic feel to all the buildings I've been getting, it's obvious that the main setting for Rift games has to be Germany. To be able to use British forces in Germany it follows that Britain and France were still occupying Germany or major parts of Germany during the 20s and 30s. However, it also follows that some sections of the German population  or areas within Germany would raise unofficial or semi-official militia forces - FreiKorps, in effect.  Such forces would potentially rely on WW1 weapons and uniforms, so these FreiKorps outfits would have a very WW1 German look...


Figures from Frontline Miniatures. This lot should be enough for most purposes. The usual very basic paint job.

WW1 German 77mm gun and crew. This should be enough artillery - the idea is a militia force, probably infantry based with very little in the way of heavy weapons.

I didn't do the machine gun very well! LMG may be the only one I finish up using though might add more standard infantry.

    Looks good to me.The Revell set of world war one Germans is very good, and you can use the HaT world war one jager infantry as German police.

    1. It's fit for purpose and that is the important thing.
